I think this would be a huge improvement in the discourse. Focussing on specific activities or behaviours that we can agree on rather than vaguer terms like “control” would probably help a lot. Examples of arguments in that vein that I would probably like a lot more:
“CEA shouldn’t have a comms arm”
“There should be more organizations running EA conferences”
“EA Forum moderators should have more power versus CEA and be user-appointed”
“People should not hold positions in more than one funding body”
