I didn’t write that wording originally (I just copied it over from this post), so I can’t speak exactly to their original thinking.
But I think the phrasing includes the EA community, it just uses the plural to avoid excluding others.
Some examples that jump to mind:
EA
Rationality, x-risk, s-risk, AI Safety, wild animal welfare, etc to varying degrees
Org-specific communities, e.g. the fellows and follow-up opportunities on various fellowship programmes.
I would like to more clearly understand what the canonical “stewards of the EA brand” in CEA and the EAIF have in mind for the future of EA groups and the movement as a whole?
I think this suggests more of a sense of unity/agreement than I expect is true in practice. These are complex things and individuals have different views and ideas!
Thanks for thinking this stuff through and coming up with ideas!
