As far as I can tell, Fractional Movement Building is the norm almost everywhere. In academia, most workshops are run by researchers for researchers. All hobby movements I’ve been a part of events are run by hobbyist for hobbyists. Unfortunately I don’t have this sort of knowledge of other professional networks, other than EA and Academia.
I also think that some amount of FMB is necessary to keep the movement building grounded in what is needed among practitioners. A lot of us organisers end up becoming organisers because we where researchers or aspiring researchers and notice an organisational need. I don’t know of any successful movement building that don’t have some of this grounding. However I also don’t have intimate enough knowledge of all successful movement building to be sure there are no exception.
Yes, this is a good point and something that I could/should probably mention when I make the case for more fractional movement building. I’ll have to think more about the specifics as I get more engagement and experience.

Thanks for all the useful input!
