| === Governance ===
| |
| | |
| Governance of a standard can be provided by:
| |
| | |
| #a vendor,
| |
| #a consortium of vendors,
| |
| #an existing standards body, or
| |
| #a new organization or community.
| |
| | |
| Perhaps a community led governance body started and assisted by FamilySearch would be appropriate.
| |
| | |
| Some issues might best be solved at different levels or by different groups.
