 Development team 

The OWG is made up of SAM practitioners, SAM consultants, SAM tool providers, SAM service providers and software manufacturers. Even with such a diverse group and the wide variety of differing requirements, we were able to come together as a community and find a way to create a standard that meets everyone's needs – this speaks volumes to the efforts of the team!  Without the individual commitment and hard work of these volunteers, this standard would not have progressed as quickly as it has.  The following individuals have been working tirelessly on the standard (sub-committee leads are highlighted in bold):

The last editorial updates of the standard were done with a lot of help from Krzysztof ("Chris") Baczkiewicz and Marcin Jaworski from Eracent as well as David Bicket, convener of WG21.

The entire team has put a significant effort into the development of this standard.  I'm delighted to have been involved the development of this standard and in working with a team that has been able to look past individual differences and create a specification of enduring value.
