Alvaro, as you know, I was vocal about that authors' limit a while ago and
how IETF is lagging here. Given size of teams working in specs now and
their complexity we should change the format to a authors'  section of
arbitrary size (and drop the contributors stuff).

Here, I can only appeal to Hooman as editor to prune the author's list to
arbitrary small number >= 1 set by IETF ;-)

thanks, if Greg didn't extend a call for cross-review, please consider me
extending one.

Stig, as PIM WG chair could you pls send a call out to cross-review the
document.
