How about all standards committees advising one individual, the
standards czar, your brilliant expert, with a background in law and
social science as well as technology, who is able to apply duly
constituted public authority to a standard. He/she cannot have any
alliances with anyone but the ITU.
And where will you find any brilliant expert willing to do that job?
It's guaranteed thankless and without innovation.
You need a brilliant domain expert, and most of those are very much
interested in their work, not in farting around being advised by
committees.
My last employer killed my sense of worth by pilling me on standards
committees, evaluation committees, coffee-cup-washing committees ad
infinitum. I may not be a brilliant expert, but they put me there as
an expert, and killed the expertise simultaneously. Nothing is as
soul-draining as standards arguments.
