This was the official reply from ARIN when I opened a ticket
regarding the issue. In fact, I had originally requested an
initial IPv6 allocation smaller than a /32 and was denied at the
time.<br>

clarify that your organization is a Small under current policy,
$2250, however your annual fee due in June will be $1687.50 with
the IPv6 fee waiver still in effect. Adjusting from a /32 to a
/36 will not affect your invoice due in June since the new fee
schedule does not take effect until July. If you return the /32
for a /36, it will reduce your annual maintenance fee to X-small
for your 2014 annual fee (assuming your organization doesn't
request additional resources that would increase your fees.)<span

it seems like 234 members who have x-small v4 and small v6 are faced
with being charged under small when they (probably) would have been just
as happy if their initial allocation was a /36 and thus stayed in
x-small.
The options to these members now are to either see the fees double or
return their /32 and get a new /36 (can't take the /36 out of your
existing /32 either).
This doesn't seem to be in the spirit of the original post of the
"strong desire to minimize fees for the smallest members".
Since /32 was the smallest allocation you could get for many members, it
seems like a /32 should be considered x-small.
Thoughts?
