@FinchHaven "...standardizing parts of #ATProtocol in an effort to establish long-term governance for the protocol."

"parts"?

OSI failed because every vendor wanted their existing, non-interoperable implementations to all somehow magically work by having a non-functional subset of all those vendors' implementations as required but anything they didn't want to change as option. result. the same non-interoperability.

the IETF and TCP/IP are ubiquitous now because they didn't try to avoid actual interoperability in the name of some useless "protocol compliance" of a subset.

color me skeptical that this will be a useful exercise.
