Ratified with/by who?

Perhaps ratified is the wrong word. When is v3 going to be solidified where we'll see production implementation of the spec/new features?

As far as I know, v3 features are already in use on some servers.

e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687798

There's also an IRCv3 section on blog.irccoud.com but I can't access it from here.

Whatever relevant working group would be responsible for standard ratification within the IETF, much like RFCs 1459 and 2812?
