In the effort to formalize the initial proposal for the LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) into a final draft, a call for public discussion has been posted at LUGNET.

The LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) is responsible for maintaining semi-regular internal discussions on pending file format issues, the overall progress of the LDraw file format and new or proposed developments made by different LDraw-based software authors. They adopt new official standards by voting on them, and publish documentation on LDraw.org following such a decision. The LSC has documented and will document past, current and future LDraw File Formats.

If you share a concern for the future of LDraw.org, please take the time to visit the LSC Final Draft, read through the document, and share your feedback on LUGNET.

Once discussion of this final draft (and its subsequent versions) has died down, and once general consensus among the public is achieved, the document will undergo a similar ratification process as the LDraw Bylaws did in 2004.

We aim to reach agreement by the 15th of July and ratify along with the upcoming LSC elections.
