It is my understanding that in 2008 the IETF was not interested in having
AFS as a WG, and if it was to be WG, the WG wopuld need to write a full set
of AFS protocol documents before making changes. This would be an
"insurmountable problem" at this time.

No its not what we want to hear, but getting the first document published
is what we want to hear.

A already have on volenteer, who said:

"I believe that anyone on this list can be a reviewer for the IETF.
  You can submit my name and e-mail."

Do we have others?
