Sustrans are not the only group in the UK that can make signed cycling routes of national-importance, although they are certainly the biggest and most well-known. But if another organisation makes a signed national route, it will also get a ncn designation in OSM. So please don't read too much into the "ncn" tag. The same tag is used throughout the world for national cycling routes in OSM. It's not entirely a coincidence that the tag and the concept of Sustrans' National Cycling Network are very similar, and I say that as one of the people who was involved in the history of this tag, but in retrospect the overlap in meanings isn't hugely helpful. Think instead of the ncn of network=ncn being a rather unusual contraction of the work "national" (maybe we dropped all the vowels and the l and changed the t to a c, or something), rather than referring to a specific network from a specific organisation.
