Glad this question-and-answer happened! A meta note that sometimes people post questions aimed at an organization but donât flag it to the actual org. I think itâs a good practice to flag questions to the org, otherwise you risk: - someone not at the org answers the question, often with information thatâs incorrect or out of date - the org never sees the question and looks out-of-touch for not answeringâ comms staff at the org feel they need to comb public spaces for questions and comments about them, lest they look like theyâre ignoring people
(This doesnât mean you canât ask questions in public places, but email the org sending them the link!)
Thanks for pointing this out! I wasnât really sure where my question fell on the axis of âgeneral EA animal welfare knowledgeâ (ex. prioritizing chickens > cows) to âspecific detail about how ACE evaluates charitiesâ. By posting a quick take on the forum, I was hoping it was closer to the former, that I was just missing something obvious and that ACE wouldnât even have to be bothered. I shouldnât have overlooked the possibility that it might be more complicated!
