I think they're already passing parts of the protocol to IETF as they become solidified with the end-goal to give the entire protocol over to IETF once it's stable.

Actually digging deeper, I just came across this from late last month (3 weeks ago exactly):

https://docs.bsky.app/blog/plc-directory-org

So they're making headway towards removing the PLC from their own control and putting it under a more "neutral" third party (that's going to be open to debate). I wish they were working faster on these aspects though, because I think the AT protocol is very nice, I just am hesitant with how it's currently organized. Once there is an independent PLC, that's a step in the right direction, but we also need things like PLC mirroring and alternative PLCs that can federate with the initial "neutral" PLC.
