My idiosyncratic, incomplete, personal list is:
Scott Bradner
Vadim Antonov
Randy Bush
Sean Doran
Sean Donelan
Paul Vixie
Steve Bellovin
Tony Li
Paul Ferguson
Ted Lemon
My criteria:
1) They have taken the time to regularly publish (via mailing list or
more formal venues),
2) I have reading their opinions for a minimum of ten years,
3) Time has proven them right.
There are many great engineers that I just haven't known long enough,
don't regularly spout off. There are others who ought to be on this
list but name just slipped my mind for a moment.
regards,
fletcher
