The IARU should try to coordinate the different interestes of the ham radio organisations all over the world, not any local government. It's for sure difficult to have at least a common bandplan for one region (I, II or III), but it's even more difficult to find a compromise between the interests of the different regional organisations and the corresponding national requirements. Look at the results of the WRC.
But: Digimodes have appeared at the scene much later than CW and fone, therefore it is difficult to implement the space for them within the existing areas for the other two modes because nobody wants to give something away. That's the reason why we have such a problem to come to a good solution. If the national organisations which constitute the IARU region don't care enough about the digital modes (and we are still a minority) then it's no surprise to have results like we have in the new band plan for 40 m. So, instead of pointing to a non existing regulatory authority I would rather suggest that all of us try to form a lobby within the national organisation, convince the others of the speicific needs for digital modes and bring the interests up at the regional meetings to have our representatives understand what's needed worldwide. Might be that - at the end - we will have a better result. As a first step I suggest you write an e-mail to your national reprensatative who is responsible within your national ham radio organisation for IARU coordination, bandplans etc., and ask him why we have come to the bandplan on 40 m with the segmentation we have. And after the response you can start the discussion (Sigi, you can look all up at www.darc.de).
