      Then, were the German speakers Germans, living in Zürich, or Swiss?

      Edit: I see your edit now. That was indeed my (genuine) question.

        3/4 of the ones listed on the document in the article were German, with the fourth being Swiss (Heinz Rutishauser).

        I’m not convinced they were necessarily living in Zürich, it could just be that the proposal was made at a conference there.

          Quite likely some of them had ties to the ETH or they organised the conference. Yes, Rutishauser would have to be Swiss, with that name. Thanks for clarifying.
