The LDraw community has some official organizations like LDraw.org and soon to
be the LSC.

The LSC should be a subcommittee within LDraw.org. For the immediate, a
subcommittee of the 4+1/steering committee, in the future, a subcommittee of
the elected steering committee (once the details are worked out for that and
it's in place). BUT - the LSC is responsible for standards, not the
over-arching steering group, the steering committee can't influence
standards based on their position guiding the org.

I'm sorry for the confusion here - Lar corrected me offline on the
definition of 'subcommittee' (which technically typically means members
drawn from the parent body [1], not the intent here). I didn't mean to imply
that the 4+1/steering committee are the only people who can be on the LSC.
Rather, the LSC is *chartered* by the steering committee. The StC (I'll use
that to abbreviate Steering Committee, while keeping LSC the LDraw.org
Standards Committee) members are not on the LSC by default, but if they meet
the requirements, are nominated, and elected there, then they can also serve
on the LSC.

What I mean is, standards, allthough important, are delegated to the LSC
which is independent of the StC. The StC or anyone else will not tell the
LSC how to decide on standards, the LSC is authoritative when it comes to
that. Conversely, the LSC will not tell the StC how to do anything
org-level, except when it comes to publishing standards.
