“Cause areas shouldn’t be tribes”“We shouldn’t entrench existing cause areas”
“Some methods of increasing representativeness have the effect of entrenching current cause areas and making intellectual shifts harder.”
Does this mean you wouldn’t be keen on e.g. “cause-specific community liasons” who mainly talk to people with specific cause-prioritisations, maybe have some money to back projects in ‘their’ cause, etc? (I’m thinking of something analogous to an Open Philanthropy Project Program Officer )

I don’t think I would be keen on this as stated. I would be keen on a system by which CEA talks to more people with a wider variety of views, but entrenching particular people or particular causes seems likely to be harmful to the long-term growth of the community.
