The RFCs are the most obvious recent examples. Although posting to a 
particular list does not determine whether it is an AFFS matter, 
pointing to this list as discussion of AFFS things has caused 
confusion. I think that AFFS is large enough now to merit its own 
lists, including affs-discuss which should be very much centred on 
"what can the AFFS do about X" and "what are the AFFS doing about X". 
Maybe a family of low-traffic -wg lists is better than one combined 
-discuss. I agree that this may be a problem that we made worse, but I 
think there is an opportunity to improve communication besides solving 
this problem.
