Not necessarily. If you announce that YOU will treat that date as a
sunset date for IPv4 and invite other organizations to sign up for the
declaration, you might be able to get a movement going. Alice's
Restaurant comes to mind as does the Cluetrain Manifesto.

That is too top down, and sounds too much like the ITU, a federation
of governments.
I don't think that would work but a voluntary manifesto that people
could sign up to would work.
