Data publication

I (Benedikt) would like to collect the names of everyone who made a significant contribution to this major effort. You would then be listed as authors when we register a DOI for this dataset (session-wise combined normal equations). 

General guideline: up to 4 names each for the following IVS components: analysis coordinator, combination center, and all 15 analysis centers that submitted a solution. If more than 4 people should be listed for a certain component, please contact me. If somebody else would like to be included and is not part of such an IVS component, please contact me as well. 

Please add your component, name, and details to this spreadsheet by June 14:

For reference, the DOI for ITRF2014 was published like this: https://dataservices.gfz-potsdam.de/panmetaworks/showshort.php?id=escidoc%3A682020. We have not yet decided which platform to use this time. The licence will again be CC BY 4.0.
