I mostly just wanted to put forward a relatively general form of democratization that people could debate the merits of and see with the poll what kind of support such ideas could have within the EA community, to gauge if this is something that merits further exploration.
I probably could have made it even more general, like “There Should Be More Democracy In EA”, but that statement seems too vague, and I wanted to include something at least a little more concrete in terms of a proposal.
I was primarily aiming at something in the core of EA leadership rather than yet another separate org. So, when I say new positions, I’m leaning towards them being within existing orgs, although I also mentioned earlier the parallel association idea, which I’ll admit has some problems after further consideration.
