Constitution says: 7.7. Contributors. The Contributors of a Community Group shall include every person who has been designated by the Core Contributors of that Group to have contributed substantively to that Group's efforts, including (but not limited to) every person who has contributed intellectual property to the OpenSolaris Community as a result of those efforts. So, we're relatively free to do what we want, I think. I'd prefer to keep it easy to recognize contributors with as little process as possible. I'd suggest that any public nomination by a core contributor, or +1 by a core contributor to any other public nomination is sufficient. But, if anyone else would like to suggest a different mechanism, I'm open to whatever. liane
