I suspect there is an affiliation but that it has not yet emerged.  Somebody
has to be behind the effort, and that somebody probably has an organization
providing support.  I could be wrong, but the whole non-affiliation thing
is, at best, a suspicious value.  If one digs deeper, the value isn't quite
as shiny and pretty as it first might seem.  For instance, the rallying
point of non-affiliation is usually actually a weak principle against
affiliation.  In other words, it's about being opposed to something that
already exists that really drives matters.  We all know it's fine to take a
stand in this world, and those who advocate taking no stand probably are not
being very truthful and are hiding their real agenda.  Still, it's good to
see folks doing something positive, and it makes sense to give the effort
the benefit of the doubt.  A wait and see approach is probably best.

I realize he is nonaffiliated with a nonaffiliated group.  Some people like
being nonaffiliated.  Some people aren't group joiners at all.
