I've dealt with the IETF RFC process and the Python PEP process, and both of them worked better than that.
While both those are good examples of mostly working organizations shepherding foundational technical standard(s) along... there is one thing more important than their processes: Their stance. Both organizations have a very strong engineering discipline of keeping deployed things working without change. I don't think it is enough to simply model their process. Until about three years ago, the Haskell community also had such a discipline. It has been steadily eroding over the last few years. - Mark
