Peg:

Online petitions are certainly of questionable value. However, the site
does list the organizations for each country - in the "Delegations" link
[1] over on the left pane. There's also a section on "Submissions" and
"How to Communicate" that offers some pointers in making your comment
have the greatest effect.

For those of us in the US, ANSI [2] is the organization you'll want to
contact.
