Thanks! This feels like a reasonable definition, but seems different from what Michael was talking about? He said:
unless you have ‘buy-in’ from one of the listed ‘senior EAs’, it is very hard to get traction or funding for your project (I speak from experience). In that sense, EA feels quite like a big, conventional organisation.
If CEA tried to push some dietary standard I’m pretty sure there would be a ton of complaints and blowback. But even if we somehow kept going through all of that, I’m pretty sure you would still be able to run a potato-less meet up, which doesn’t feel consistent with the “need buy-in” claim.
(Whereas in “big, conventional organizations” if the CEO says “the cafeteria is going to serve potatoes” then the chefs don’t have much of a choice.)
