I really see 'none new LIR's' above. So either you have the feeling a LIR
understands what it is about and you give them a reasonable assignment
window (/25 or something) or you don't and you keep them on 0.
I agree with stephen that something in between doesn't really help.

Experienced people is difficult to see at a new LIR, or do you want some
'hostmaster certificate'? A new LIR doesn't have many request mostly and
it will soon be clear they understand, so the AW will be raised fast.
