This is an aim/desire, not what they are actually doing.
Similar. It is something they aim not to do (with arguable effectiveness) and then a call for other people to do things.
I quoted these parts because I’ve seen a lot of people accuse them of wanting control of the EA community or having overarching responsibility for it (ah, including yourself incidentally: “If CEA do not want to be driven by the community, I think they should consider whether they should present themselves as representatives of the community”) and it’s relevant to scope.
This is a good high-level summary of their scope. It would be a great intro to something describing their intended scope.
This is over two years old.
What more do you need to know to avoid the bulk of the problems Joey refers to this in this post?
I think that page provides less detail on scope for CEA than this forum post does for CE
Obviously it does. If you’re going to criticize other organizations for something, you better make sure to improve your own org on that metric at the same time. But that seems like a cheap shot to me and the relevant standard is not “Are other meta orgs providing as much transparency as the most transparent meta org.” It’s a question of trade-offs in time and attention (which people on this forum seem to consider only maybe 2% of the time when criticizing someone else for not doing X, despite trade-offs nearly always being a necessary part of the argument). And I do honestly feel like it will never be enough for people who’ve already decided they don’t like CEA.
