I am going to start the FAQ discussion, using [FAQ] as tag, without
waiting for a new list, but will move it if and when there is a more
appropriate mailing list.
Meanwhile, I have a radical alternative suggestion on mailing list
names. No matter what we do, I am afraid you will get the frequent
questions on diversity@. As an alternative split, create a list
diversity-action@ for those who have already decided action is
appropriate, and want to get on with doing it. Anything related to
diversity would be on-topic on diversity@. Only threads about
diversity-related actions would be on-topic on diversity-action@.

I don't think that a [FAQ] tag solves the problem we're trying to address
here. which, as far as I understand it, is that this list is likely to see
a lot of threads that may ultimately hamper the work we're trying
to accomplish
in a sense, we *want* to bifurcate the community. i.e., we want to be able
to say "this isn't an appropriate thread for this list, please take it to
diversity-meta@" and be quite firm about shunting that stuff off
we need to prioritize maintaining an (emotionally) safe and stress-free
environment on this list (diversity@). and I can't over-emphasize how much
we put that at risk if we allow meta discussion to take place here

I disagree with Yet Another List as it tends to fragment a community,
and this one is not too large.
We can use [FAQ] in email subject lines to differentiate while keeping
others aware of what's going on.
There are more words about this in Stefano Mazzocchi's "we love busy
lists" message that I relayed at
