I do question why some members from the community should be involved in chapter/affiliates issues. If affiliates want to communicate with each other, without interference from individual users, they had no way to do such until this list was created.
And there is no transparency reduction. The suggestion that with creating this list the transparency is reduced is an illusion. If affiliates want to communicate with only affiliates, they will found another way to do that without doing that publicly, and that is much less transparent.
There is already a "closed" mailing list but it has a low traffic exactly for the point that it's "closed".
After several discussions within the community about the approach of "closed circle", Chapters would be "open" and "transparent" and would avoid that there is the feeling that in some places are happening machinations or conspiracies.
What is really missed is an "open" space where discussions about chapters can happen.
Kind regards
