since some of our members have not participated as far as I can tell,
i am not clear that the wording change she suggests below -
s/members of this working group/participants in this Working Group/
is appropriate.
This seems like an internal administrative decision that all editors
should follow
both in terms of the wording and the listing of the people.
I thought it was less disputable to state membership and then use the
listing on the site.
If we list participants then it seems like someone should figure out
who has actually participated (and that may also include people who are
not members now but have participated in the past).
I can not make that complete listing but will use it if someone makes it.

Deb - I looked where Susan directed us -- she's right. Participants
mean participants in the WG members generally means W3C members
(i.e. the organizations). So Susan is pointing out that to be
consistent w/W3C practice, we should either say "Members of this
working group" and then list the organizations (Stanford,
Hewlett-Packard, Sun, etc.) or say "Participants in this working
group" and then list the individuals. I prefer the latter.
As far as who has participated, there are many people who have come
and gone, some participating more than others, but all making some
sort of contribution in some way along the process (sometimes via
emails to chairs and team that were not shared with all members of
the WG). My instinct is to be inclusive and give everyone the
benefit of the doubt.
So my preference is to do what Susan suggests (go w/participants).
Also, we've had a few more people join - before we move to the next
stage, we should update the list to include the new members as well.

Hello,
These are minor editorial comments for your OWL Candidate
Recommendation [1,2,3,4,5,6], I hope in time for your deadline.

Links outside, like rdf:ID need a reference and section. There is an
example here:

Section 7.2 most likely needs to be rewritten to point only to IANA
reserved sites per RFC 2606 (example.org, example.com and example.net
or if you need evocative names, e.g. wine-portal.example.com). The
examples and links here could be omitted. If they can't be omitted and
you can assure persistence then they can be references. If I can be of
assistance please let me know and I will help rewrite this. I am sorry
to have to say this at CR.
A number of sites exist today that call themselves wine portals.
Google for example, provides 152,000 matches for the query "wine
portal". One of the top matches, a site called "Wine-Portal.com",
provides access to a number of sites. Many sites claiming to be
wine portals are mostly informational sites. For example,
wine-portal.com's first featured site, called 'cork cuisine'
(<http://www.corkcuisine.com/>www.corkcuisine.com/), provides
information about matching wines
and foods, wines as gifts, etc. Another site billed as "the
Internet Wine Portal" (
<http://www.cyberbacchus.com/>www.cyberbacchus.com/) provides a nice
organization of a substantial amount of wine information on
numerous topics.
Similarly, links like these should be omitted or made into citations.
