As 3GPP has played a main role for 5G, will they be leading for the standards of 5G+ and 6G too or some other standardization body has already started working on it?

Hi Nadeem,
Obviously, Prof. Badach Anatol Badach has provided an excellent list of answers, on which I agree with him 100% and enjoyed reading. Thank you, Prof. Anatol Badach
In terms of standardization, I guess you may possibly know the answers could be. :-)
Per my own observation, a short answer to your question is, Yes, 3GPP/ITU will still be the major standardization bodies, even though they are not US standardization bodies mainly because of their past success on 4G/5G and their positioning between US and China. However, likely IEEE will play an increasing role. Maybe 3GPP2 will be waken up too ... if US government wants. I haven't heard any new 6G focused standardization body recently established yet
If there would be any standardization procedure change, it will be highly related to related US policy changes .... not the ones from Canada, Germany, EU or China. I may add a few explanations to these below.
As we know, different from the technical research activities which has been happening for many years already, the standardization processes are traditionally quite or relatively more politics involved or politics prone.
The new reality is, from what have been happening on 5G commercialization during the past three years, now and will happen in the near future, an educated guess may be, the standardization processes of 5G+ and 6G will be very different from 4G/5G ... for example, including but not limited to, new demands, requirement or suggestions from US government policies on 5G, 5G+ and 6G development, commercialization and deployment, which will very likely propagate and be adopted by most US allies.
It is true that though 2G/3G/4G/5G standardizations are traditionally only guided by government entities, their successes highly depends on the participation of the major tech companies. However, considering the recent landscape changes on the live, dying, survival, thrive of many major 4G/5G participating companies, I guess US companies and the companies highly benefiting from US market, including Qualcomm, Intel, Google, Facebook, Apple, NVidia, AMD, Samsung, LG, Fujisu, etc, will play much more active roles in 5G+/6G standardization. In contrast, the roles played by or the impact from other Canada, EU and Chines companies will be relatively and visibly diminishing.
Indeed if we take a look at the difference between 3G and 4G standardization procedures, the rationales behind the 4G change and the stories of dying 3GPP2, we may predict that there will be a lot of shows, dramas, new tricks, fights or stories in 5G+/6G standardization activities. .... which will be "legendary."
We need more popcorns for sure.
Cheers
Thank you Shu Wang and prof Anatol Badach for your invaluable comments
Shu Wang , the way you have elaborated, it interesting to read :). Thanks !
