I would like to make a proposal that everyone wear fluffy pink hats every third Wednesday of the month. And I would like to use this standards organization to promote this by writing a fancy document.

The way I read their proposal is them saying: "we're doing this new thing in our network gear. we can either standardize on it or you're going to have to deal with integrating with our proprietary systems yourself."

So to me, the real question is whether huawei has large enough presence to force everyone to "wear fluffy pink hats every third Wednesday of the month". Their strong presence in developing countries seems to suggest so.
