Thanks Jeff you’ve convinced me that a zero relationship policy woyldnt work. I think I didn’t grasp the scale of these orgs and just how unrealistic this might be to avoid romantic entanglement at all levels.
I think something asking the lines of your steelmanning me here might ensure an extremely low chance of relationship bias affecting grants.
“A version of your proposal that only included C-level people at the grantee org and people working on the relevant area (or people who directly or indirectly supervise people who do) at the granting org would make a lot more sense, though I’m not sure it’s a good idea.”
I know other orgs operate through Recusal at the granting org, but romantic bias can still get legs in the donors door, and people may well still struggle to vote against someone’s partner out of loyalty. Recusal helps and I’m sure it’s happening already, but it doesn’t seem good enough in some situations
