Am I incorrect?  The documents that I can find claim that routing and addressing are both architecturally under the IETF.  As that's not a legal entity, the relevant parent is ISOC.

>From there, the addressing portion is delegated to ICANN (specifically IANA), in turn to NRO, and in turn to RIRs.

Please see draft-azinger-scalable-addressing-00 (Sections 2.1 and 2.2) for my understanding and references.

If there's something factually incorrect, please educate me.
