Lucy,

I neglected to answer your question directly.  The authors are, by
definition, the people listed on the first page.

There is no such section as "Author Information"; probably you mean
"Authors' Addresses".  The rules are spelled out in RFC2223bis, section
2.12.  At present Authors' Addreses section lists only authors, i.e.,
those listed on the first page.  The rules say that a Contributors
section can list additional contact information.
