I don't see where any "solution" is required at all. Leaders are
simply leaders and will act as those "guiding bodies" quite naturally,
in my experience. I still think all you'd be trying to do is fostering
the attempt to pigeon-hole the peerage to meet modern convention. If
the need seems to really be that strong, however, then I would concur
that something could easily be put into place to make it known which
groups of individuals have expertise in whatever areas of experience
are relevant to a given situation. 

I still think it would be nice to see the peerage created as a single
entity, but that sure would make circles a nightmare. ;-) (Not that it
would ever happen, anyway. I don't think enough people care one way or
the other and there's always the adage for some that "If it ain't
broke, don't fix it.")
