Adding New Testing Community Contributors and Core Contributors

[From Article VII of the OpenSolaris Constitution]
7.7. Contributors.  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, including (but not limited to) every person who has contributed intellectual property to the OpenSolaris Community as a result of those efforts.
7.8. Core Contributors.  The initial Core Contributors of a Community Group shall be determined by the OGB when the Community Group is initiated; thereafter, the Core Contributors shall consist of those Participants that have accepted the Group's designation as a Core Contributor for that Group. Designation as a Core Contributor requires nomination of a Participant by an existing Core Contributor, followed by a Group decision by consensus vote to approve that designation, and finally acceptance of the designation by the Participant. Each such designation shall hold for a period of two (2) years, or until that Core Contributor's earlier resignation, removal, or death. In addition, each designation of Core Contributor status results in a grant of Member status for the 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 Contributor may be removed by consensus vote of the other Core Contributors or by expulsion from the OpenSolaris Community.
