ESC member are there in an 'individual' capacity. Their company affiliation is only relevant to the extent that we try to avoid one company having too much weight... As for disclosure. The minimum is the Name (one cannot be an 'anonymous' ESC member) I guess that public disclosure of the affiliation, if any, could be optional (someone may work for a company but do not what the company name mentioned because his participation to the ESC is not a company sanctioned/sponsored activity) We will bring that topic-up on the next ESC call and provide a list with the appropriate/agreed-to details to this ML. For the AB, that is exactly the oposite. people are there representing company, so the affiliation is the mandatory information... the name of the individual representing that company is less important and susceptible to change at the discretion of the AB-member. so trying to keep that public list up-to-date with individuals name is an unnecessary burden IMO.
