How is APEX organized?
The 31 CIC member organizations nominate individuals to serve on the APEX Commission. Commissioners serve as spokespeople for various industry segments, rather than as representatives of a specific organization, and are responsible for the general oversight of the initiative. The industry panels, supported by the Technology Advisory Council and the Legal Counsel, are where the work of developing accepted practices was done. Panels were composed of approximately 25 members, representing a wide range of industry functions. Their recommended practices were delivered to city discussion groups and the industry at large for review and comment. Based on widespread discussion and feedback, the panels developed final recommendations that were voted on by the APEX Commission and the CIC Board of Directors. See the APEX Structure for a diagram of the groups of people involved.
