contacts who are one step removed from the community but might be of interest for collaboration/​advice, like senior executives of important organizations, policy-makers, or domain experts.
In it’s current state the Hub is not equipped to deal with people who aren’t opting in to being listed there.
I imagine such people would not want to be publicly listed unless they were already onboard with EA and willing to be a resource, so some kind of closed/​private list would probably be more realistic
One option is that you could have profiles listed as viewable only to other users, and Brian’s idea seems reasonable too
I am not optimistic most versions of these solutions would be practically feasible to implement on a scale that’s cost effective. I imagine people would just be connected to EAs who have those connections, can vet them and then connect to experts
