Thanks for the feedback! We’re still discussing how we should get community input on visions later on in the process, so I don’t yet have a clear answer, sorry. One thing that we’ve (briefly) discussed is asking candidates (probably anonymously) to share their visions on the Forum, for people to comment on. But there’s some disagreement among committee members about whether that would make sense, and it might depend a bit on the visions/candidates, so we don’t have firm plans yet.
Thanks, Max! If you go down that path, I would encourage candidates to be especially clear about the extent to which they are implying a vision of where the meta as a whole should go, versus focusing on a vision of where CEA fits into that meta. I think people may sometimes conclude that a speaker is talking about the former when the speaker intends to convey the latter.
Of course, both are potentially relevant (e.g., to pick a less likely example, someone could propose CEA get out of the conference business because they don’t think conferences add much value, or because being in the conference business doesn’t jive well with the rest of their specific vision for CEA).
