It's a consortium

Here's the official press release and below are the names of all the people selected to develop the new Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) that I alluded to in my first post. After an initial look I have to say the list is pretty impressive - contains progressive, contemporary researchers that are on top of the latest and greatest debates in ECEC. Will aim to provide some more indepth analysis in future posts.
