I assume you mean 2050 which supersedes 1466:

                                                                 RIPE
                                                            J. Postel
                                                                  ISI

The authors certainly do represent those amongst whom one would expect
an agreement to be made.  The authorship tends to represent those who
allocate space rather than those who consume it.
