If IPv6 block requested does not change your size category, then your
annual RSSP fee will not change, either presently or under the proposed
schedule.

Correct.

If the IPv4 block was /22, then it would be XX-Small ($500).  Since it is /21, 
the right category is X-Small (i.e. "Larger than /22, up to and including /20"), 
and the revised fee is $1000/annual.  

Note that the IPv6 block could be "Larger than /48, up to and including /36" and 
the organization would still stay in the X-Small category under the new proposed
fee/category schedule.
