Sure. Let's assume you've built a house. You came then to your municipality and asked them to assign your house a street number.
Is this your house number? Yes indeed. Can the municipality take it back? Well rather no. Can they force you and the whole city to renumber? Probably yes.

And now let's get back to your question. Is the house number a personal resource?

Okay. So the coordinator then assigned the addresses to the networks.

So those who use more (not shared anymore) addresses paid more to build the networks, and now with their efforts to perform the IPv6 transition, you propose that the community (or rather the NCC members) will force them to pay even more. Then instead of paying millions those users will hire many lawyers for the same money and the association will have dozens of lawsuits like another RIR has.
