The ISO is already in charge of NSAP addresses. I don't see how 
importing the complexity that exists there into IP is going to help us.

There is very little, if any, controversy in IPv6 addressing. Ask for 
address space and you'll get it. Moving addressing issues to a new 
organization would in fact create controversy as it is virtually 
guaranteed that address policies and routing policies will fall out of 
alignment, to the detriment of the net as a whole.
