I think this would be part of the implementation. If the LIR had an  
IPv4 allocation for at least six months and their AW was under /21  
then their AW would be raised to /21 - unless it has been reduced by  
the RIPE NCC because of misuse.

Ah, perhaps I should have made it more clear in the updated text.  
This proposal does not change the current policy text, which states:

"The AW may also be lowered after or during an audit if invalid  
assignments are noted."
