ARIN holds the top of that authority and delegation hierarchy
because they give out the ASnums and IP address blocks. They
also operate a suggestion box here:
<http://www.arin.net/acsp/index.html>
click the yellow button that says "Submit a Suggestion".
There is a formal evaluation process behind that suggestion
box so if there is one or more specific actions that you
believe ARIN should take, then file a suggestion for each
separate action that you want them to do.

To everybody on the list, please do consider making formal 
suggestions to ARIN.
