We could ask the IEEE, since the relationship between the WiFi folks and IEEE 802.11 seems to be somewhat similar.

One of the problems I see is that many of the industry associations (SIP Forum, IPv6 forum, to name two I'm somewhat familiar with) tend to focus on service providers, not consumers. But an organization such as the SIP Forum could provide a "VoIP-optimized" label for NAT boxes and maybe even ISPs.

Thus, I think we need a separate organization (or work with a separate organization) that does branding and certification. It's hard to buy a non-WiFi device in stores today; the equivalent consumer assurance needs to be true for core consumer and small-business network devices, and possibly services.

I don't know how this would work, but if it could be made to work, that might be very helpful.
