The committee could simply exchange a set of emails, and agree on
things.  I doubt it needs to get all complicated.  I suggest you contact
all the folks you want to be consistent with each other, send us an
email asking us to all try to work together, and then ask for proposals
on what we should all conform to.  Distill the proposals, and then
suggest a common solution.  With luck, we will all just say yes.:)
