I don’t think taking the GWWC pledge should be a prerequisite to consider yourself an EA (which, it’s not a prerequisite now). If your post had said “GWWC members should...” or “EAs who donate 10% should...” instead of “EAs should...” then I wouldn’t have disagreed with the wording.
That makes sense. I don’t think there are any official prerequisites to being an EA, but there are community norms. I think the GWWC pledge (or a direct-work equivalent) is a common-enough practical or aspirational norm that I’m comfortable with eliding EA and GWWC-adjacent-EA for the purposes of this post, but I acknowledge you’d prefer to split these apart for a sensible reason.
