RFC 3172 is pretty explicit about how ARPA is managed: The Internet Architecture Board (IAB), in cooperation with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), is currently responsible for managing the Top Level Domain (TLD) name "arpa". and As noted in section 3 of this document, the IAB may request the IANA to delegate the sub-domains of "arpa" in accordance with the "IANA Considerations" section of an IETF Standards Track document. > IANA seems the most reasonable place to me, too.

As it would seem to be in ICANN's best interest to ensure the contents of the list are maintained, I don't expect this to be too challenging. Aside from the list itself, what I personally think would be helpful would be a clear and mutually agreed process by which labels would be added/removed from the list.
