I am bowled over reading the "Recently Completed Summary on the History and Establishment of the Canadian ME/CFS and FMS Definitions" on the site www.mefmaction.net
Lydia Neilson's organization did the lion's share of the work to bring their Canadian version of the CDC, in Canada called the LCDC, from the point of accepting the CDC's research definition in the early 90's, to accepting the clinical consensus definition which Mefmaction brought about by: working through patient organizations to identify doctors who were treating ME/CFS patients, then add to those internationally expert physicians treating ME/CFS to come up with a consensus for a clinical definition--which they were able to do, unanimously!
Mefmaction has been working on translating and disseminating these definitions worldwide...Check out their site for some new inspiration!
