The AAP allied itself with the [[American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists| American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists]] (ACOG) and the [[American Academy of Family Physicians]] (AAFP) to produce a new circumcision policy that would claim a medical benefit. A new task force was named with [[Susan Blank]], a doctor with pro-circumcision credentials as chairwoman. The task force was an unusually large eight-member task force with an unusual constitution. It included:
* Ellen Buerk, {{MD}}, representing the board of directors of the AAP.
* [[Andrew Freedman]], a Jewish urologist from Los Angeles who circumcised his own son on the kitchen table.
* [[Douglas Diekema]], a pediatric medical ethicist.
* Lynne Maxwell, {{MD}}, a [[pain ]] control specialist.
* Steven Wegner, {{MD}}, {{JD}}, a medical insurance specialist, who evidently was appointed to the task force to preserve and protect [[third-party payment]].
The task force also included representatives from other pro-circumcision organizations:
* Charles LeBaron, {{MD}}, representing the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]], where [[Bias| biased]] doctors had been working to produce a pro-circumcision policy since 2008.* Sabrina Craigo, {{MD}}, representing the [[American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists]], whose fellows make extra money by performing non-therapeutic circumcisions circumcision on newborn baby boys, although males are outside of their practice area.
* Lesley Atwood, {{MD}}, representing the [[American Academy of Family Physicians]]. whose fellows also make extra money by performing non-therapeutic circumcision.
