That seems a little tone deaf and extremely insensitive to a lot of non-profit organizations who fight for every penny they can.

Drive by comment:

I can see how someone not in the know -- like myself -- could mistake
this the way that Robert did.  I can also see how it might be taken
differently by those in the know.

"There is a temporary IPv6 fee waiver for organizations in the 3X-Small
service category."

I can see that as both "(new) organizations (that aren't currently
registered) that are the size of a 3X-Small..." and "(existing 3X-Small)
organizations that are (already registered and) the size of a 3X-Small..."

It seems somewhat unclear to me if it applies to new registrants or if
it's a perk for existing registrants to grow.

Just my $0.02 worth as I drive by.
