The IETF has legal counsel.  I think it's the IAOC that has to make
decisions about using it, since there's money involved.  I imagine an
AD would need to make a request, but I have no idea.  This came up for
me recently in the context of SPFBIS, and the answers were all "good
question", so I don't think there's a real procedure in place.
