We have in effect been a WG. The IETF will get additional people
to look over documents, but as Jeff pointed out they could be
part of the WG.

Having someone not familiar with AFS might help catch some issues
where the authors and WG where too close to the subject, and made
some assumptions that a future developer might misinterpret.

Do we have anyone we could call on? Maybe someone who uses AFS,
is involved with the IETF, but has not been part of the group?
