ASD STEMG  

Simplified Technical English Maintenance Group

The ASD Simplified Technical English Maintenance Group (STEMG) is responsible for the development, production, publication, and maintenance of ASD-STE100. The group includes experts from ASD countries (members) along with international experts from countries that are not members of ASD (partners).

Originally formed in 1983 as a working group (SEWG) to develop AECMA Simplified English, in 2004, when ASD was created, the group changed its name to the STEMG.

The STEMG reports to the ASD Product Support Specifications Group (PSSG) and the ASD Services Commission (SVC).   

The STEMG meets twice a year.  Throughout the years, there have been over 90 working meetings, held in 13 countries and 26 different cities.
