Just wanted to quickly clarify that the entire wording of the EAIF “definition” was written by me, where I put in the level of care that I typically would for a phrase in an organizational blogpost: significant, but far from the level of precision that an important movement-wide phrase ought to have. I also meant more to gesture at the set of ideas that “Principles-Based EA” roughly points at, rather than to define them.
All this to say that I’d be glad if Zachary or others can come up with their own versions, and I’d mortified if something like my “definition” becomes canonical.
