In order to understand the international origins of the NAIS and just how many agencies and international organizations are involved a member of the Stopanimalid.org forum created a chart that, at least for people who are visually oriented like myself, makes it very easy to see the chain of command from the international organizations to federal to state to county.

I've recreated the flow chart here in a table, but to download the actual flow chart take the link below.
