As I understand it, it’s one of the core things that EA Outreach is working on in advance of Will’s book—they raised funds for doing so as part of their funding announcement here. So it would still be using these people for EA Outreach projects.
Presumably in formulating the plans for EA outreach, CEA looked for the areas of greatest importance and tractability. It would be very surprising if, in forming anther initiative centred on public communication, there wasn’t significant overlap. If there wasn’t, I would think EA outreach had ignored an important problem. I’m not sure why you would label all such important, tractable topics ‘CEA things’.
To clarify, while ‘The Most Good You Can Do’ is not a CEA project, in that we do not own rights to the book, it is a CEA project in that we are coordinating the global marketing campaign for the book with Goldberg McDuffie Communications (USA), Yale University Press (USA), Yale University Press UK (Europe), Text Publishing (Australia), and The Life You Can Save doing the bulk of the work. We will be playing a similar role for William MacAskill’s book, except that the holding company for the rights for Will’s book is contractually obliged to donate the royalties beyond the advance to CEA.
I imagine that EA Advocates will promote a range of both CEA and non-CEA projects, where the requirement is that the actions take by participants have a particularly high value.
Peter Singer’s book is not a CEA project.
