That's a low bar to clear, for a start I'd say a single licensing body needs to be the maximum for VVC.
Greed and stupidity won out over the propagation of the HEVC standard before it even hit critical mass when they diverged into separate licensing groups.
It is foolishness to get this far in development without drawing up some sort of development participation agreement that prevents such licensing body schisms.
Whatever mistakes AOM made, they certainly got that part right at the start, and the proprietary actors like MPEG should have learned from their previous mistakes by now.
