The "progress to be standardized" for SPDY was SPDY being chosen as the basis for HTTP/2; as I understand for a while SPDY has been being updated in parallel to the HTTP/2 development work to continue to reflect the state of HTTP/2 + new things the Google SPDY team wants to get into the standard, but its been clear for a long time that the intent was that SPDY as a separate protocol would be unnecessary once HTTP/2 was ready for use.
