You mean, like the way RIR's have come to oversee IP protocol design?
There is no reason to believe that those responsible for administering
operations of a service will come to be in charge of the engineering for
that service's technology. It doesn't happen in businesses, so why should
it happen for the Internet?

Which "deal" is that? The one that is being pursued through Poisson, an
IETF working group, which has responsibility for approving the "deal", not
the IAB? Or is there some other "deal" that you are referring to?
