The GAP document was created by 10 individual sub-committees of seasoned business continuity professionals from partner organizations (ARMA, DRII, FSTC and NFPA) and members from the public and private sectors.

The mission of the DRJ-EAB effort is: “To be recognized as a leading source of ‘sound’ Generally Accepted Practices by providing a depository of knowledge and recommendations offered by skilled business continuity practitioners.”
