Regarding “The key feedback I have for CEA is that they should do more explicit hero licencing if they don’t want to do the organising work themselves.” Would you be able to say more about what you think we should be doing differently? In particular: I expect that it’s easier for us to hero-license people we are already e.g. giving a grant to than it is for us to search out new people, and if we could do a better job at e.g. telling group leaders “for real we actually think you should own this” that would be good to know.
(Though of course maybe we should additionally put in the effort to search out new people, even though it is harder.)
Thanks for writing this, I think it’s great.

Apologies for the delay in response—it has been a busy month at work!
Thank you for asking!! I have a lot of suggestions on this so have been trying to legibly structure my thoughts.
However, it has ended up turning into a bit of a monster answer and tbh replying to this comment is blocking me doing effective giving posts.
So I’m going to prioritise writing those this week and get back to you later.
Thanks for understanding!
