I don't see it happening, Izzz. You can't get 12 program owners to meet on time in the lobby of a Vegas hotel and decide where they are going to dinner in less than an hour. And those are the organized ones.
Now let's add in the petty disputes and outright dislikes (ok, hatreds in some case) of the various people with stature (I use that term very loosely) against one another. Then let's toss in the competitive edge to get traffic and sales.
After that we'd mix a cup or two of potential government intervention, either criminal or civil (like the FTC's current spam campaign), toss in some lawsuits (and there are always more of these going around than anyone would ever guess) and top it off with the proverbial cherry -- the egos.
Not much chance of anything structurally happening, imo.

Interesting thread...
If a group of people start setting standards , another group of people will see that as an opportunity to get rich by not adhering to those standards. ( You'll prolly find me in the other group)
People have tried to do this in the past. Never worked.
YNOT for instance did not allow blindlinks or popups. I spent the first 30 mins when YNOTs top list changed playing cat and mouse with Khan.
IME everytime one of these type of syandards/ rules bodies have come into existence people either followed the rules , and went poor , pretended to follow the rules but had secret sites etc , or just said "fuck it"
What sort of controls or standards would people like to be put in place?
I think Gonzo and the GBU wants to have a scammer warning page on GBU.
