> To move beyond R5RS, a Steering Committee was formed in 2004 which appointed editors to specify an R6RS.

Though we’ve seen occasional input from individual members, the Steering Committee as a body hasn’t taken any action since 2013 when the small language report was ratified. When the changes made in 2022 were being discussed, we got no guidance from the Committee at all. In short, we’re not sure the Steering Committee exists as a single, functioning entity any more. How significant is this? Is there an actual process for forming a steering committee? From where does it derive its authority? If the current one is defunct, can they just form yet another one?
