One that I think is super important (and I think used to be on CEA’s list?) is transparency: * The movement was founded on Givewell/GWWC doing reviews of and ultimately promoting charities for which transparency is a prerequisite. * Givewell themselves have been a model of transparency in their reasoning, value assumptions, etc * It seems importantly hypocritical as a movement to demand it of evaluees but not practice it at a meta level * Much of the sea of criticism (including my own) that followed FTXgate involved concerns about lack of transparency * If as Zachary says the community is ‘CEA’s team, not its customers’, it’s hard for us to make useful decisions about how to participate without knowing the rationale or context for their key decisions
