I’m concerned that allowing grants to people whose names are not exposed even to your suggested jury risks giving grants to known bad actors (either because their history is unknown to the grantmakers, or because the grantmakers don’t care when the donors still might).
Right, it’s a tradeoff. You could establish rules for when a name could be withheld from the jury to manage that risk. But I’m crediting, in the absence of reason to disbelieve, the managers’ view that there are sometimes sufficient reasons to shatply limit disclosure of some grantees’ identity.

I guess I’m just less trusting than you, and I think this ability would be used exactly in the kind of situation I describe.
