I didn’t see any discussion of recusal because the fund member is employed or receives funds from the potential grantee?
Yes, that should be covered by the CEA fund policy we are extending. Here are the relevant sections:
Own organization: any organization that a team member
is currently employed by
volunteers for
was employed by at any time in the last 12 months
reasonably expects to become employed by in the foreseeable future
does not work for, but that employs a close relative or intimate partner
is on the board of, or otherwise plays a substantially similar advisory role for
has a substantial financial interest in
And:
A team member may not propose a grant to their own organization
A team member must recuse themselves from making decisions on grants to their own organizations (except where they advocate against granting to their own organization)
A team member must recuse themselves from advocating for their own organization if another team member has proposed such a grant
A team member may provide relevant information about their own organization in a neutral way (typically in response to questions from the team’s other members).
Which covers basically that whole space.
Note that that policy is still in draft form and not yet fully approved (and there are still some incomplete sentences in it), so we might want to adjust our policy above depending on changes in the the CEA fund general policy.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying!
