If such rights are given to any organization, they have the right to assign prefixes to servers hence, having control of the routing database at which a technical or human error will lead to an immense catastrophe to the internet society. This control is basically the specific definition of centralization. This centralization is the major reason why most providers do not trust the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI).
