In 2002, a formal structure for PLG governance was established with the following rule adopted:
The editors of Progressive Librarian (PL) and an equal number (plus one) of PLG members make up the Coordinating Committee (CC).
All members of the CC, including Editorial Board members, are volunteers and involved in all aspects of decisionmaking, planning, and work for the organization. PL editors provide core continuity with PLG/PL's original programmatic compact.
As of January 2012, PLG Coordinating Committee members are:
- Braden Cannon
- Mark Hudson
- David Lesniaski
- Lisa Schelling
The Progressive Librarian Editorial Board:
- John Buschman
- Elaine Harger
- Susan Maret ~ Maret is the PLG CC contact for openthegovernment.org
