I agree that sounds good, but can you point to something that they have actually done lately?
The ActivityPub process is a good example - yes, it got there, but much of the difficulties around the standardisation process seem related to the W3C process, not standardisation itself.
I was involved around the edges of the Atom standardisation process[1]. There's a reason that went through the IEFT and not the W3C[2].
