LIst of W3C TAG Members

TAG-HIstorical-Membership.md

I've pieced together the below history of W3C TAG membership from various searches. It has holes, and it doesn't tell us who was nominated either. I'd love to capture this data somewhere for posterity, really for no other reason than that I love history. If you are able to help me fill this in and where you got that information from, it would be really awesome.

I think you would gain to add the month of the nomination. :) because for example. 2001 is December 2001. which makes it more a 2002 thing than a 2001 ;)

@karlcow Yeah, I definitely will do that. Note these are all about actual election to a seat, but I ultimately want to capture that as well as good data on which were appointments vs elected, who was nominated -- and who couldn't serve a full term/why... The special elections it seems don't show up in search results and I know there have been a number of them.
