Agree.  The list of "important folks" is much bigger
(I get over 20 without really trying).

I note that CSIRO (of .csiro.au) has been forgotten.

I also note that the ADNA proposal is still to be sent to
the AARNet Board for consideration.  Unless this board,
and the half of the Australian Internet it represents,
is approached, the statements of "broad consultation"
are flimsy.

There are two major products that came out of Berkeley:
LSD and UNIX.  This is no coincidence.
