Hi,
I only mentioned some concern about no slow-start mechanism at all, but basically a per-LIR AW doesn't make much sense anyways. Usuallly "older", "bigger" LIRs have quite some "high" AW already, even if they have a high fluctuation of LIR-contacts/hostmasters, too (students ect.) So, personally, the current AW doesn't tell that much about quality of Assignments made anyways - it's quite obsolete from this p.o.v.
That is true. In assignment window for new LIR's would make some sense, just to make sure that they don't do anything silly because of a misunderstanding. There is a big chance that nobody in the organisation has experience in running an LIR. They might even still be thinking in classes... (in my experience a lot of people don't read documents until they have to, so they might have ignored CIDR until now) Letting them start (for a short time) with an AW of /25 will probably make them aware :) Just some thoughts..
