Exactly the same way that current time zones work. Every so often, jurisdictions that become dissatisfied with their current timezone offset or DST arrangements because of increasing DUT1 or because a politician is under-employed will have a discussion which may or may not result in a change. Note that there's no need for global co-ordination. Each country (or county) can change when it is convenient for them. The effect would probably be a shifting of timezone boundaries in lumps and bumps that averages out to the overall DUT1 drift.
