This sounds like an opportunity to exercise the community governance
process in the ARC Community :-)

Accordingly, as a core contributer in the ARC community, I propose
that the following OpenSolaris community members who are active on
LSARC be formally considered for either Contributer or Core Contributer
status, as noted below (missing member/intern names reflect their
non-participation in the OpenSolaris community).  I invite the ARC
Community Core Contributers to respond to this ARC Community vote:

	sommerfe	Bill Sommerfeld	
	edgould		Ed Gould  (retired)
	gww		Gary W. Winiger
	glenn		Glenn C. Skinner
	carlsonj	James D. Carlson
	jek3		Joseph E. Kowalski
	kais		Kais Belgaied
	tpm		Tim Marsland
	plocher		John Plocher

Core Contributer status for LSARC Members:

	A Contributor who is an active and sustained contributor to any
	Community Group and accepts designation as such by said Group
	shall be termed a Core Contributor for said Group and granted the
	status of Member for the OpenSolaris Community as a whole.

	Designation as a Core Contributor requires nomination of a
	Participant by an existing Core Contributor (that's what I
	am doing here), followed by a Group decision by consensus
	vote to approve that designation, and finally acceptance of
	the designation by the Participant.

	Addition of Core Contributor requires a Consensus vote:

	 	At least three (3) binding +1 votes and no -1 votes
		(i.e., unanimous with a minimal quorum of three votes).

	mac	Mark Carlson		Storage Community contrib
	alanc	Alan Coopersmith	OGB and X Community core contrib
	dduvall	Danek Duvall		ON and Tools community core contrib
	tcm	Terrence Miller		ARC community contrib (via PSARC)

Contributer status for LSARC Intern

	A participant who has been acknowledged by one or more Community
	Groups as having substantively contributed toward accomplishing
	the tasks of that Community Group, shall be termed an OpenSolaris
	Contributor. Such designation is permanent and persists regardless
	of the person's current level of activity or status within the
	Community.

	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

	yippi	brian cameron		Desktop core contrib

	Addition of a Contributer seems to simply require an Assumed
	approval:

		Approval is assumed unless a -1 vote is received,
		after which the action is reverted or the issue
		is decided by Majority or Consensus vote, depending
		on the type of action.


Each Core Contributor of a Community Group has the right to one binding
vote on each proposed action of the Community Group. Other Participants
may express their opinions through non-binding votes.
