You just stopped reading after the part you liked :)

"There is a temporary IPv6 fee waiver for organizations in the 3X-Small 
service category. A 3X-Small organization may receive registry services 
for up to a /36 of total IPv6 space and remain in the 3X-Small service 
category. This waiver will expire 31 December 2026."

The "fee waiver" is that they're allowing a 3x-small org to grow into a 
2x-small org's worth of v6 space while staying at the 3x-small org annual 
fee.

Presumably, you could request a /40, and then request another (and 
another...), and as long as you have a /36 or less worth of v6 space, 
you'll still only owe $250/year for the IPv6 space until this "deal" 
expires at the end of 2026.
