Standards need stewardship.
A data standard is not a fixed document. It will evolve as policy changes, as new application types come into scope, and as implementation reveals things that could not be anticipated at the point of design.
For that evolution to work well, there needs to be a clear and stable function that owns decisions about the standard: what changes, when, on whose authority, and with what notice to the people who depend on it.
This epic is about designing that function, so that the standard can be maintained and improved over time in a way that is transparent, consistent, and accountable.
