The way the management of the EA Funds is structured to me makes sense within the goals set for the EA Funds. So I think the situation in which 2 people are paid full-time for one month to evaluate EA Funds applications makes sense is one where 2 of the 4 volunteer fund managers took a month off from their other positions to evaluate the applications. Finding 2 people from out of the blue to evaluate applications for one month without continuity with how the LTF Fund has been managed seems like it’d be too difficult to effectively accomplish in the timeframe of a few months.
In general, one issue the EA Funds face other granting bodies in EA don’t face is the donations come from many different donors. This consequently means how much the EA Funds receive and distribute, and how it’s distributed, is much more complicated than ones the CEA or a similar organization typically faces.
