AFAIK (and any specific knowledge I have of Cisco is dated), Cisco has not
asked the IETF to standardize its proprietary protocol. An obvious start would
be for Cisco customers to ask Cisco to do so.
With HSRP/VRRP, someone wrote a specification that they thought Would
accomplish the Cisco-proprietary objectives, and championed that through IETF
processes. At least part of that had to do with a Cisco competitor and someone
who had a bee in their bonnet. I'm not telling you to do that (my observation
of HSRP/VRRP is that the result has been two competing protocols, not a winner
and a loser), but it's a question you might ask your vendor about.
