Thanks Jeff, I think your summary is helpful and broadly correct, except for two (somewhat relevant) details:
GWWC didn’t recommend SM based on FP’s recommendation in 2019 but based on FP’s decision to still recommend SM as of this giving season (which is based on FP’s internal re-evaluation of SM).
I don’t expect there to be any new, decision-relevant information in FP’s recent internal re-evaluation that isn’t captured by the 2019 report + the recent HLI analysis (but I’m not sure about this—Matt can correct me if I’m wrong, though also see his comment here). Obviously the internal re-evaluation has extra “information” in the sense that FP has reviewed the HLI analysis, converted metrics to their new system, and run some extra tests, as Matt has explained, so maybe this is just semantics, but I think it’s relevant to the extent that a crux would be “FP is still recommending SM because of something only they know”.
I understand the reasons for your suggestion w.r.t. GWWC’s inclusion criteria—we’ve seriously considered doing this before—but I explain at length why I still think we shouldn’t under (4) here. Would welcome any further comments if you disagree!
