In my opinion AW can be auto-rised to almost match most "popular" assignments sizes. All further risings(lowers) can be done upon LIR request. If stats does not show clear peak - AW size can be aligned to nearest bigest value.
I am not sure I understand what you are proposing. Are you suggesting that all assignment approvals should trigger an AW raise? That is, if my LIR has an AW of /23 and I receive approval to make a /22 assignment I should automatically have my AW set at /22.
I've not seen a response, but I'd like to outline why I think that a rapid series of raises is a bad idea. My concern is that AW raises should not be seen as a reward but as an extra responsibility. A rapid series of raises is likely to appear like an evidence based reward. However, a time-based change from 0 to /21 is clearly not an evidence based change and is much more likely to be viewed as a new responsibility. Emphasizing the LIR's ongoing responsibilities rather than their previous wise decisions is likely to lead to better results for everyone, I think. Regards, -- Leo Vegoda IANA Numbers Liaison
