The work was done mostly by EricB and myself, with prompting
and advice copiously provided by Danek.

Glynn, Danek, EricB and yourself were already Core contributers
elsewhere (I checked), so there was no need (for the election)
to duplicate your names here.  Since PSARC was the only ARC that
had formally started participating as an ARC, I focused my
bootstrapping attention there.

I'm pretty sure I sent mail while I was in India in early March
to the arc aliases @opensolaris (which, of course, I can't find
in the fora) describing the selection criteria I used to select
the ARC Core contributers [effectively: psarc-members + me => core,
interns and licensees => contributers].  I also solicited updates
and changes; since nobody responded, I presumed the list was good
enough.

Following up on Glynn's comment that contributer status should be
something that is asked for and not simply granted, I note that
*nobody* has ever asked to be either an ARC community contributer
or a core contributer.

This actually may be a good thing, since in the long run (post-
PSARC-transition...) the ARC community should IMHO explicitly be a
derived one - the Core Contributers from all the other communities
should be defined to be the ARC Community.

In this view, you, Danek, Glynn (etc) would all automatically be
Core Contributers of the OpenSolaris ARC Community....
