The origins of the document go back to working groups that were open
to everyone, back in 2009, the SPHERE project groups which Anne Lord
organised. The Sphere Labels developed principles of affiliation in
February 2009 and Operational Policies in June 2009 (still within
Sphere Labels group), and then that gave rise to a draft Chapter
agreement at the end of June 2009. Sphere labels group was totally
open for everyone to take part in but at the beginning was Anne
Lord, Sébastian Ricciardi and me - because that's what happens when
there's some heavy lifting to be done.<br>
Then more work was done for the next couple of years with a lot more
people feeding into the Sphere Labels, thus giving rise to the next
versions of the document. <br>
See:

<br>
And now we're a lot further down the line. The document's undergone
many, many rounds of commenting and has improved a lot, in my
opinion. A lot of it has come out of consensus that the perfect is
the enemy of the good. <br>
<br>
So whilst the pen-holders are staff, the contents have come from the
community.<br>
