The 2009/2010 LDraw Steering Committee (SteerCo) comprises Kevin Clague [4], Chris Dee [5], Michael Heidemann [6], Orion Pobursky [7] and Willy Tschager [8]

Read on if you are interested in some details about the 2009/2010 SteerCo. Different from previous governing bodies the current SteerCo has no chairman or a unofficial or hidden leader. The member that puts an issue for discussion, takes the lead on the topic. This includes calling for input, writing summaries, trying to reach a common agreement, keeping the discussion going if a standstill is noticed, calling for a final vote and eventually announcing the result on Lugnet [9] and LDraw’s homepage.
