Shakespeare authorship coalition

Hans Gutzman
Frank Patrick Steckel

 "The Shakespeare Authorship Coalition"
 (->SAC)

 informs us that it has selected certain other persons for a qualification as nominee belonging to the "Notable List" of Shakespeare doubters, obviously regarding "public prominence" as a significant qualification for high intellectual judgment and as a publicity promotion for SAC.

SAC congratulates two Germans that have reached the Notable list: Hans Gutzmann, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Charité Berlin, Germany; President, German Society for Geriatric Psychiatry and Psychotherapy and Frank-Patrick Steckel, renowned German theatre director (Hoffmann, Shakespeare und das Deutsche Theater im XX. Jahrhundert).

SAC seems to be proud to declare many of the twenty-two contributors to the Edmondson-Wells book, "Shakespeare beyond doubt"

 as Non-Qualifier for this list...?
