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.
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.

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.

So whilst the pen-holders are staff, the contents have come from the
community.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
