Pretty sure WTC has all the power in this relationship...

Ok, so what did I miss, Ed?

• Working towards ITU being recognized as the singular international federation leading the sport of triathlon
• The ITU sanctioning select IRONMAN events as international events
• The ITU leading coordination and communication with its member National Federations to implement standardized rules and reinforce the ITU's "Clean, Fair & Safe" mandate
• Working toward a single set of rules (ITU Competition Rules) for long-distance triathlon beginning in 2018

This is from the page linked above.

...particularly when it comes to non-draft triathlon.. If they make a uniform rule on non-draft bike geometry it will be ITU going the way of WTC, not the other way around.
But why wouldn't ITU just adopt UCI technical/equipment rules for NDL/long-course racing, as they have done with Standard, Sprint and SS races? Another example: rules for the passing zone, etc., could also be standardized this way (are you reading, Challenge?) since rules for ITT's have been established, etc.

Also, nice screen name. :)

no sponsors | no races | nothing to see here
