Thanks, Ken -- I should have checked my email earlier, but I'm glad
that everyone found the answer so easily.  People used to worry that
the web was too ephemeral for preserving important information, so
it's worth noting that it was trivially simple for people to pull up a
list of people on a couple of committees ten years ago, without having
to haul boxes out of our basements and search for old printouts or
floppy disks.

Note that the original XML WD, which Ken cites, contains two separate
lists of people.  The second one listed is the SGML Editorial Review
Board (ERB), which (confusingly) would later become the XML Working
Group; they're the ones who were directly responsible for the XML
spec:

   1. Jon Bosak, Sun (jon.bosak@s...), chair
   2. Tim Bray, Textuality (tbray@t...), editor
   3. James Clark (jjc@j...), technical lead
   4. Dan Connolly (connolly@w...), W3C contact
   5. Steve DeRose, EBT (sjd@e...)
   6. Dave Hollander, HP (dmh@h...)
   7. Eliot Kimber, Passage Systems (kimber@p...)
   8. Tom Magliery, NCSA (mag@n...)
   9. Eve Maler, ArborText (elm@a...)
  10. Jean Paoli, Microsoft (jeanpa@m...)
  11. Peter Sharpe, SoftQuad (peter@s...)
  12. C. M. Sperberg-McQueen, U. of Ill. at Chicago (cmsmcq@u...), editor

What is called the "SGML Working Group" in the document Ken pointed to
(~60 members) would later become the XML SIG, a broader (but still
confidential) group that provided discussion (and frequent flame wars)
to support the XML WG's work.  Eventually, the next layer outside of
that was this XML-Dev mailing list, which represented the public layer
of XML discussion.


All the best,


David
