CE does not permit Executive Directors initiating a romantic and/or sexual relationship involving any member of Staff or the Board.
I’m curious what “does not permit” means here, since below this is written fairly modest steps.
I.e. I am aware Joey (executive director) has dated several members of staff (and still does at point of writing). Do I understand correctly Joey was not permitted to do so, but since presumably he has followed the steps described in the COI, he is permitted to continue?
To be clear, I am new to COI’s so this might be normal, plus I can see COI are not designed as a guide for good workspace culture, but to specifically mitigate a certain form of mismanagement (i.e. what would colloquially be called “corruption”).
Somewhat related question, do you expect any individual board members have COI in that all are previous founders of CE incubated charities. I am not sure I can point to any direct harms from this, but it does pattern match onto a Revolving Door. The Effective Altruism space is large, so it does seem suboptimal to have only board members that were previously in a subordinate role to the directors of CE.
Probably not all of my thoughts here are related to COI, but more towards unhealthy culture around CE and the way it operates.
