I could live with it if there were a way of adding "all Sun developers" 
to the
allowed list, because they already are effectively members of the 
solaris development
community and are already part of the ARC process within Sun.

I'm less concerned with excluding non-Sun, non-OS.o people, though I'd  
really
like a way for outsiders to be included in arbitrary project 
discussions.  For
example, I wouldn't expect Mr Korn to be a member of OS.o, yet his comments
on the ksh93 case are invaluable.
