[ebxml-msg] RE: A Request on the Author's list in ebMS 1.1

David, 	I agree that the list will be very long, especially if you attempt to adopt a method that uses Marty's comments regarding all who participated via eMail or conference call.  I do not have a good answer. I will not lose any sleep if my name does not appear in the document. I will tell you that I am sure that if a list of contributors is included and someone is omitted from the list, there will be some who are disappointed.  	I think that you will remember that I wanted to place the list of contributors into an appendix of the V 1.0 document or at the very end.  I lost that debate and we were challenged to develop an inclusive list.  The problem is now magnified.  	I was going to suggest that we point to the OASIS web site that lists the membership of the TC as the contributor source.  I went to the OASIS web site and determined that the TC membership is presented there.  The problem is that we may have contributors to the document who currently are not members of the TC or a current member may withdraw from the group but still have contributed to the document.  So let me make the following proposal, if we call the document version 2.0, I suggest that the contributor list consist of only those who contributed to the creation of the V 2.0 document.  We started with the V1.0 document and the V 1.0 document contains its own list of contributors. I will point out that we used the SOAP 1.1 spec in the development of the TRP 1.0 spec but did not list those who had contributed to the SOAP Spec--that of course would be ludicrous.  I know that Dick Brooks and others made key contributions to the V 1.0 document.  I do not discount the importance of their work.  However, this is V 2.0 and we are citing the fact that the specification is building on the V 1.0 work so direct references to the V1.0 document do not seem necessary. 	DISCLAIMER:  This message is not intended to start a firestorm. I am only trying to simplify David's task and take a reasonable approach to publishing the specification.  Ralph Berwanger
