I see absolutely no good reason not to start the work and do
negotiations with other SDOs on the side.
That is thw way these joint bodies are usually formed (at least the
MPEG/ITU-T ones). The group(s) form, and begin their work.(independently)
In parallel the chairs and SDO management work out the joint body
organization. It is easiest if the discussions on joint body organization
begin as soon as possible.

All of the companies I know who are active in the ITU are also active in
the
IETF. So it seems to me that there should be some willingness to work
together.
In any event, if the joint-body negotiations fail, then the IETF simply
proceeds on its own. There is not much to lose, and as you seem to agree,
potentially a lot to gain.
Ok, in IETF spirit of "running code" etc, just start the IETF WG and start
the work, and at the same time inform ITU about what's happening, and invite
them to participate in the process.
Talking about work is just talking and is not productive. Actually starting
the work brings urgency to the table and will increase leverage to any
negotiations that might be taking place.
"Would the people saying it's impossible please get out of the way of the
people actually doing it"
I see absolutely no good reason not to start the work and do negotiations
with other SDOs on the side.
