Under the overall guidance of the Steering Committee, the initial work of generating responses to each Standard were organized in one of three ways:
- Existing representative committees (sometimes adapted or augmented with additional members for this purpose)
- Specially created committees for areas that are not served by an existing representative committee
- Drafts produced by responsible administrative offices, generally including consultation with advisory committees if available
The following table notes the committees and advisory groups that were associated with each Standard. Where no committee or advisory group is listed, the Steering Committee served as the initial forum for discussion.
