I suspect the next step will be to create two implementations and create test files for the integration test suite. These will be required before we can vote on this.
Are either of you interested in contributing an implementation (C++, Rust, Java, and Go have been the usual suspects in the past but JS or C# should be viable too)? In the past, once an implementation & test files have been created for one language, it has been easier to drum up a volunteer to create a second implementation.
