Thanks for explaining why you downvoted in such a full manner. Let me then explain the meta-reasons for why I asked the question.
As a nonprofit entrepreneur myself who followed the call for new EA charities and started his own EA-themed meta-charity, I’m quite aware of the benefits of starting a new project :-) My goal in asking this question was to provide the Good Technology founders with an opportunity to explain their reasoning about a question that I am sure exists in many people’s heads, but many choose not to ask.
As you can see, my question is phrased in a quite friendly manner. I express approval of the project, and then expressed curiosity about a specific issue I thought was insufficiently addressed in the original write-up. This is the sort of constructive critical feedback I would have loved to get when I started my own nonprofit venture :-)
Hope this explains my reasoning. We’re all in this together, and figuring out the best way to help the world. We may have different methods and paths, but share the same goal. Let’s try to assume that we all have the best intentions in helping each other out.
