Probably because those of us who are actively involved in IP address
distribution and administration/policy development have been doing
capacity building around these issues for over a decade on this list,
and it doesn't seem to have much effect on some folk.

As you note below, IP addressing is already "de-centralised".  It is
the most "local", Bottom Up, Transparent, Open, consensus based part
of the current IG regime (IMHO).  CS is actively involved on many
levels. IMHO, IP address policy making IS a CS activity.

nro.net will give you more info, since you asked for a link.

As for the ITU, there is a Internet Coordination Policy doc that discusses this:

I posted on Circleid about it many years ago.

when the above doc was in v.1 form:
