RE: [wss] Names of Contributors for the spec(s)

- In XACML we took a different approach.  We listed committee members who 
were in "good standing" on the release date of the specification on the front 
page.  And we listed anyone who had ever been a committee member in an 
Appendix.  I like this approach because it is totally objective; 
it avoids the need to judge whether or not someone made a "main" 
contributor.  So, I ask that people give some consideration to this 
approach.  All the best.  Tim.

Subject: [wss] Names of 
  Contributors for the spec(s)

At the F2F it was suggested that I should make this posting to the list 
  to start the process of collecting the names of folks who should be listed as 
  contributors to the spec. OASIS specs typically list the editors and main 
  contributors on the front page and then list the names of all the voting 
  members of the TC at time of spec publication in an appendix. A good example 
  of how this is done can be seen by looking at the recently published SAML 
  specification [1]. 

If you feel you 
  should be listed as a "contributor" please send mail to the list in response 
  to this message. Thanks.
