8 months after the Sri Lankan government passed a resolution establishing a Constitutional Assembly to draft a new constitution, the government has launched a website detailing the constitutional drafting process and the membership of those involved in the Steering Committee, the Sub-Committees and the Panel of Experts.
The website states that early on it was decided that the Steering Committee would be responsible for the following issues: matters covered by Chapter 1 and 2 of the present Constitution; nature of the State; sovereignty; religion; form of government; electoral reforms; principles of devolution; and land.
Then 6 sub-committees were established to make recommendations to the Steering Committee on the following subjects: fundamental rights; the judiciary; law and order; public finance; public service; and centre-periphery relations.
The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) is represented on each of the Sub-Committees and the Steering Committee by Members of Parliament belonging to the Ilankai Tamil Arasu Kadchi party (ITAK) as follows:

- Main Steering Committee: R. Sampanthan and M.A. Sumanthiran
- Sub-Committee on Fundamental Rights: S. Shritharan
- Sub-Committee on the Judiciary: M.A. Sumanthiran
- Sub-Committee on Law and Order: M. Senathirajah
- Sub-Committee on Public Finance: E. Saravanapavan
- Sub-Committee on Public Service: G. Shrineshan
- Sub-Committee on Centre-Periphery Relations: D. Sithadthan (Chair)

In addition to the Steering Committee and Sub-Committees, there is also a Panel of Experts that has been appointed to advise the Steering Committee and Sub-Committees consisting of the following persons listed on the website: Prof. Suri Ratnapala; Prof. Austin Pulle; Prof. A.M Navaratna Bandara; Mr. N. Selvakkumaran; Dr. Camena Gunaratne; Dr. Kapila Perera; Suren Fernando; Mr. Niran Ankatell; Mr. Asoka Gunawardena and Ms. Chamindry Saparamadu. The website also notes that a Research Team and Media Team have been appointed to assist the process but does not list its respective staff.
According to the website, the constitutional drafting and passage process must proceed as follows in order for a new constitution to be passed:

1. Steering Committee will present an Interim Report to the Constitutional Assembly in November 2016 to be debated
2. Steering Committee will present Final Report alongside Draft Constitutional Proposal to the Constitutional Assembly
3. Draft Constitutional Proposal will be voted on by Constitutional Assembly:
a) If the draft Constitutional Proposal is approved by a two-thirds majority in the Constitutional Assembly, the draft will be submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers and to Parliament, and the Constitutional Assembly will stand dissolved.
b) If the draft Constitutional Proposal is approved only by a simple majority in the Constitutional Assembly, the draft Proposal will have to be reconsidered by Parliament within a period of one month. If the Draft Proposal is approved by a two-thirds in Parliament, it will thereafter be submitted to the Cabinet of Ministers.
4. Once received by the Cabinet of Ministers the draft Constitutional Proposal will be turned into Constitutional Bill and tabled in Parliament as a "Bill for Repeal and Replacement of the Constitution"
5. The Constitution Bill would then be voted on by Parliament and would have to be approved by a two-thirds majority, and it would have to be put to a Referendum by the people and approved by a simple majority. If both votes are successful then a new Constitution could be formally enacted.

The site states that the work of the Steering Committee and Sub-Committees is facilitated by a Management Committee set up by the Constitutional Assembly on April 28, 2016, co-chaired by Dr. Jayampathy Wickrematne (MP for UNP), and Mr. M.A. Sumanthiran (MP for ITAK and TNA National Spokesperson).
