Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team (who happens to know that queen brenda is in charge of more than just the uk [including the isle of man, the channel islands and various other odd bits and pieces] but nowhere near as much as her father was emperor of -- we used to have an embarrassingly large empire which has mostly been dismantled, starting with the independence of india in the year of my birth.)
