Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been surprised and distressed by the extent of these reports, a point which your concrete observations have underscored for me.
Having more details about the abusers you’ve identified and the abuses they committed would help me (and probably others) understand the nature of the problem, and what actions would make sense in response. On the other hand, there are good reasons not to make the list public, not least of which is that the survivors may not have consented to this.
I’m wondering if there is some way we can make more information public without compromising the desires of victims, or exposing victims or others to potential social or legal harm. For example, I could imagine you giving a list of 5 EA organisations and saying how many abusers were working there, or saying how many abusers you know of are attending the upcoming EAG conference in SF (assuming there’s a public list of attendees), or how many have taken the Giving What We Can pledge. I also think it’d be important to know how many of these abusers are specifically known to CEA (by known, I mean both their identity and the nature of their actions).
I appreciate there might be reasons to be careful about revealing even this information, but any context like this that you can give would be helpful.
