+## GEDCOM Steering Committee
+
+The GEDCOM standard is overseen by a steering committee who meet weekly to discuss issues and pull requests on the GEDCOM repositories.
+
+Most of the work of developing and refining the standard is done between those meetings,
+either by individuals or project teams.
+That work consists of identifying issues, proposing changes, and converting those change proposals into pull requests.
+The weekly steering committee meetings primarily discuss the issues and pull requests resulting from that project team or individual work.
+
+The GEDCOM Steering Committee was initially formed by FamilySearch from volunteers representing several companies and groups.
+When the current GEDCOM Steering Committee notices that someone not on the committee is making consistent helpful contributions spanning several areas of the specification over an extended time,
+they invite that person to join the steering committee.
+
+### Project Teams
+
+The GEDCOM Steering Committee also organizes Project Teams for more complex projects.
