This is really exciting. Especially the sucess of Giving What We Can over the last year—suggests there is a lot of scope for effective growth here.
On the EA funds, are things like the ‘guidelines for avoiding harmful grants’ going to be visible to the public? Can see pros and cons to transparency about working documents like, that but I lean in favour (and I am curious to see).
I personally am very much in favor of sharing internal documents, both to increase transparency and accountability to donors, and also to help others who are running similar projects and generally advance EA discourse. So my current plan is to publish these guidelines. That said, there’s some chance I end up concluding that preventing misunderstandings and responding to questions/​comments is too much work (e.g., with these guidelines, I worry that people may come away thinking we’re more risk-averse than we actually are), so I’m not sure whether I’ll actually publish them.
