there is a list of names at the end of that draft report
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-nsrg-report-10

This document is a description of a review done by the Name Space
Research Group of the Internet Research Task Force.  The members of
that group include:
  J.  Noel Chiappa,   Scott Bradner,      Henning Schulzrinne,
  Brian Carpenter,    Rob Austien,        Karen Sollins, 
  John Wroclawski,    Steve Bellovin,     Steve Crocker,
  Keith Moore,        Steve Deering,      Matt Holdrege,
  Randy Stewart,      Leslie Daigle,      John Ioannidis,
  John Day,           Thomas Narten,      Bob Moskowitz, 
  Ran Atkinson,       Gabriel Montenegro, Lixia Xiang.

(Eliot typed my name wrong:)
I recall that, after the group's progress stagnated, Eliot was called in to help the group finish up.  But the opinions and understandings at the time just too diversified to make the job feasible.
It seems to me that the understanding on naming has much progressed over the last 20-some years, though the diversity of views seems remaining if not further enlarged.
