The first step in creating a set of standards, for this group, was to establish a task force made up of representatives from each of the stakeholder groups affected by this process. The task force would be charged with drafting a set of uniform rules, regulations, and guidelines for full value assessment.

Time and commitment to the process were key ingredients identified by the group as necessary to ensure this goal is met. Since many of the task force members would be coming from various locations across the state this group discussed alternative ways to communicate. Suggestions such as net-meeting software were made to help overcome the issues of time and travel as it relates to effective use of time and talent.

To overcome the barrier of home rule, the group said that relying on the foundation of acknowledged standards such as following IAAO standards should be pointed to as a guide for full value assessments.
