That bit's easy.

The people in the Advocacy group who have already shown themselves to be 
extremely solid contributors and also very clueful are at least:

Josh Berkus
Robert Treat
er... myself  :-)

There are other solid contibutors too, but Josh and Robert have both 
demonstrated good contributor and leadership qualities, plus good common 
sense.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,
