Yes. Another question is the geographical direction of the (potential) giving. I suppose we should expect a strong focus on US-centric actions, which might very suboptimal. Surely relying on funds will help coordinate intelligently.
Therefore, one approach to preparing for the influx of many new donors could be to increase the EA Funds teams to facilitate grantmaking (afaik, they're quite overworked anyway).
Thanks for the kind words!
To answer your question:
- One person said it to me, and another wrote it in the feedback form: it can be hard to understand how an organization can amend their activities to be more effective, concretely. Another person found the event "too theorical".
- I personally think examples contribute a lot to making the ideas clearer and more convincing.
Great! I'm very interested in how this compares with the most beloved EA format: the "fellowship". If this works well, it will present a number of advantages: more dense; less need for planning; basically no dropping out.
Funny to notice that with my usual "funnel-based" thinking I'd have listed these workshops in the reverse order.
Hey @JoA🔸 , I was considering having a translation (maybe adapted to our cultural context) on EA France's website, if @Jeff Kaufman 🔸 is giving us his blessing :)
Hi, thanks for the post!
After discussing with other group organizers, 2 interesting ideas came up and I wanted to share them for CEA's consideration - I hope I'm not repeating something written elsewhere:
(both options might involve something called "referral codes" but they are very distinct things).
This sounds like a nice, helpful tool that I intuitively think will be valuable to ensure people think clearly about how to make efforts in a concrete directions. I really like the 3 "paths" for this.
I don't understand this, though: how do you suggest tracking people's answers to this tool? How is the data consolidated?
I love number 4! :D
