Following the change from campaigns to workgroups,

Subject: RFC: Workgroups

Workgroups are vague things at the moment, created by renaming 
the "campaigns" into something more clearly practical and gathering
some related activities onto their pages.  

We would like to give people working on these things a clearer
idea of how they could fit together.


Proposal:

* A workgroup must be created and wound-up by the committee.  It must 
include an AFFS member who talks to the committee.  The committee 
should also have a member in each workgroup.

* A workgroup must have a topic and should try to encourage projects 
to further AFFS aims about that topic.  Its members should be involved 
with more than one project.  It may help to start new projects when 
required.

* A workgroup may have mailing lists and must contribute to the 
newsletter.  It may have a budget set by the committee or it may 
request funds as needed.


Questions of interest:

* May non-members join workgroups?  Some believe that they should be 
members-only, increasing pressure to join.  Others think that any help 
should be welcomed.
