Most of these are being brought together under the "OStatus" banner [1] (actual spec here [2]) and implemented by status.net, and rapidly other open source social networking projects like Elgg and the media-hit Diaspora. So, it's pretty clear standardization in the social web world is going on outside the W3C. I think one discussion to have, which we've had at the Social Web XG and have been interviewing folks on [3], is precisely why this is the case. It seems to me the main issue is the closed membership model, and the second issue is the perceived slow-moving process. It might be interesting on having a thorough discussion of this. Also, what areas outside the Social Web is standardization happening outside the W3C that conceivably seems to be a core part of the Web, more focussed on formats that protocols? Cloud computing? Security/Privacy?
