Thanks for the suggested wording. I folded it into a new section in 
tz-link.html, with the title "Coordinating with governments and 
distributors", by installing the attached proposed patch. Once it's 
released (which should be soon, for Egypt) we can cite this URL:

https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html#coordinating

Further comments welcome of course.

Brian suggested something more ambitious (and more laborious...).

I sometimes wonder how the IATA's process works for updating the SSIM's 
time zone appendix. Since they charge $1000/year for the SSIM I've never 
used it directly.
