Hi,
I upvoted because I appreciate that you took the time to give a detailed answer.
I’m going to reply more thoroughly, but for now I’ll highlight this:
Then we move onto (paraphrasing very slightly) “CEA clearly aren’t trying to be representative of the movement”. I think that “representative” could mean lots of things here, and again I agree with some versions but not others:
By this I’m referring to the decision-makers in CEA being representative of the community. Not participants of EA events.
I still don’t know how exactly you choose participants, and I think the problem there is not necessarily the way you choose, but the fact that nobody seems to know what it is. But this is way less important to me than the general decision-making and transparency in CEA.
Thanks, and to clarify, by decision-makers, do you mean mostly the board or mostly staff? And do you want them to be representative on particular dimensions? Or maybe chosen by a representative process like elections? I expect that we disagree on what the right structure is, but still interested to understand your view.
