>> 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

>> Community Group

>>    thereafter, the Core Contributors shall consist of those 
>> Participants that
>>    have accepted the Group's designation as a Core Contributor for that

>>    the designation by the Participant. Each such designation shall

>>    period of two (2) years, or until that Core Contributor's earlier
>>    resignation, removal, or death. In addition, each designation of Core

>> OpenSolaris
>>    Community as a whole, with a duration of two (2) years from the 
>> date of
>>    said grant, as described in sections 4.2 and 4.3 above. A Core
