It just happens over many years and many successfully published and adopted standards. I don't have a good definition for you (although that's a really interesting thing to think about, maybe it's worth writing about) but I suspect most people know them when they see them.

Well, if this comment is not a textbook example of FUD, I don't know what is.
So only "standards bodies" should create standards, and you have to create standards to become one? Then standards bodies cannot come into being and therefore don't exist.
You're making giant leaps from what I said. I didn't say it's an absolute truth forever and always throughout the universe that you can't create new standards bodies. I said this was a bad place to do it.
Good standards bodies, I think, allow lots of bee SME members who can propose new standards.
I think IETF is a good example of how anyone can propose standards on a plethora of topics. When they were very young it was hard to trust but now they are decades old with hundreds of standards demonstrating how easy it is to propose and work on new standards. Maybe even the “gold standard” of standards bodies.
