Perhaps to mitigate my meandering can the members of the council give one example of something the CEA has done in the last 12 months they are willing to publicly disagree with?
Well, I’m far from sold on the principles and panel being a good idea in the first place. But everything in the linked comment is low confidence, some of it doesn’t apply given the actual implementation, and certainly it’s not obvious to me that it’s a bad idea (i.e. I have a small positive but extremely uncertain EV).
For something that happened that I more robustly disagree with, a lot of the marketing around EA Global last year concerned me. I didn’t go, so I only heard about it secondhand, and so I didn’t feel best-placed to raise it directly, but from a distance I think pretty much everything Kit said in this thread re. marketing was on point.
With that said I think there is definitely some version of what you are saying that I would agree with; I certainly would consider myself very much an EA ‘insider’, albeit one who has no particular personal interest in CEA itself doing well except insofar as it helps the community do well. I’m not sure what the best way for CEA (or EA in general for that matter; this isn’t just their responsibility) to hear from people who are genuinely external or peripheral to EA is, except that I think a small panel of people is probably not it.
