I think the main issue with this is that this creates some kind of official ‘membership’ of EA which comes with tonnes of issues. (How do you decide who gets in? Who decides and how that/if people get thrown out? (Would SBF still in this?) Is there a transparent process for this? What kind of obligations do people part of it have (in terms of keeping conversations private for example)? Can you leave voluntarily and are there any repercussions if you do?, …)
I agree that overseeing permissions would be annoying to do, that’s the main thing I’m recommending we eventually have someone paid to do.
I’d note that:
Lots of similar decisions are already being made. EAGs, Leadership Forums, lots of private Slacks, regional coworking offices, and more.
I can’t imagine anyone reasonable who would keep SBF in, post-scandal.
There could be a transparent process. I’d encourage starting with something simple, like, “Are you employed by one of these N orgs, or have you met one of these other 3 criteria?”
“Can you leave voluntarily and are there any repercussions if you do” → I think generally, you could just ignore it. Think of a Slack and similar that you could log into if you want, or could just ignore.
