BTW I agree with the sentiment that the EA movement would benefit from knowing a little more about McCauley. Even just some very basic questions like:
What cause areas are most important to you?
What do you see as the role of EVF?
How did you get into EA? How have your views evolved over time?
I think it’s a relatively small issue, but not knowing much about the EVF board seems like it somewhat reduces the abilities of EAs to properly calibrate their views on how much to trust/rely on EVF and its subsidiaries.
I will also say that it doesn’t feel super representative of the EA community that all 5 of EVF’s board members appear to primarily be longtermists. This isn’t necessarily an issue if all the board members are doing a good job of listening to and representing the views of the EA community, rather than just their own. But it’s sort of odd.
