I would assume that the "rule makers" are refers to the LC Policy and Standards Division (PSD) [ formerly known as CPSO], which is a subunit of under the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access Directorate (ABA) , which is under Library Services (LS):

PSD BTP ABA BTP LS

BIBFRAME was mostly developed under the Network Development and MARC Standards Office (NDMSO), which is a subunit of the Technology Policy Directorate (TPD), which is also under Library Services (LS);

NDMSO BTP TPD BTP LS

It is possible that the committee memberships listed for the various bibframe sub-committees are misleading, but there seemed to be very few members from PSD.

I'm a little confused-- who are "the rule makers" to whom you are referring?

Too often we (or at least I) assume something is not important or useless or whatever until I consult the rule makers, who have given thought to many things (of course they are not perfect either:)).
