Kelvin - 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.
