Why are people down-voting this as well as disagree-voting? Itâs a controversial but non-crazy opinion honestly expressed without manipulative rhetoric. (I donât have a strong opinion on it one way or the other myself.)
The post literally asks for âspecificâ and âconcreteâ suggestions. You can be succinct and concrete, like âannual vote by GWWC members to determine boardâ or âall grants >$100k decided by public vote on EA forumâ.
Or a suggestion to open up discussion. There are many more structures that would be more democratic (regranting, assembly groups of EAs, large scale voting, hell even random allocation), but the principle here is essentially saying at the moment ea funds is far too centralised and thus we need a discussion as to how we should do things more democratically. I donât profess to have all the answers!
Moreover, I think I am not sure the idea it is an Applause Light makes sense in the context of it being massively disagree voted. That is pretty much to opposite of what you would expect!

I think calling for something to be âmore democraticâ, without further details, is a textbook example of an Applause Light.

I downvoted because I think itâs less important than comparable ideas in this comment section
