What organism owns intersection names?

I understand that five letter intersection codes (such as WARPI, PAPPI, KUBBS, ROSLY, ZALPO, ...) are unique in the world.

However, their names don't comprise a national prefix (as aircraft tail number do, or airport codes do), which would allow to delegate name bookkeeping to the individual countries's aviation authorities by prefix.

Therefore, a single, international organization has to somehow own and disambiguate all the intersection names. I would expect the ICAO to be that organization, but I haven't been able to find any resource mentioning that.

Help?
