Something I liked about the IETF, no cost to get the standard, there was always a running code example. It changed as it go too dangerous. There isn't any reason to have these big organizations as "standards bodies", all you really need is trademark protection and a test suite. And not even that some times. I often point people to the Arduino "standard" which immortalized some poor sods PCB layout mistake in spacing the shield connectors. Basically you define a standard (no consensus required, it just has to be useful). Give it a trademarked name. Offer to let anyone use it on their gear for a one time license fee. Then market/sell/advocate things with the trademarked name until you get people associating the name with the standard thing you have. And at that point you're done. If your licensing price is reasonable (say under $25,000), people will just license it and use it rather than try to compete with it.
