This is sort of a meta-comment, but there’s loads of important stuff here, each of which could have it’s own thread. Could I suggest someone (else), organises a (small) conference to discuss some of these things?
I’ve got quite a few things to add on the ITN framework but nothing I can say in a few words. Relatedly, I’ve also been working on a method for ‘cause search’ - a ways of finding all the big causes in a given domain—which is the step before cause prio, but that’s not something I can write out succinctly either (yet, anyway).
I have organized retreat/conferency things before and would probably be up for organizing something like this if there was interest. I can contact some people and see if they think it would be worthwhile, I am not sure what I expect attendance to be like though (would 20 people be optimistic?)
I have a lot of thoughts on cause search, but possibly at a more granular level. One of the big challenges when you switch from an assessing to a generating perspective is finding the right problems to work on, and it’s not easy at all.
I think there’s one happening in London in November that is discussing questions of this nature—it may be worth seeing if they will add it to the schedule if it’s not already there.
I think splitting off these questions would balkanise things too much, making it harder for people interested in this general question to get relevant information.

Concur. If only we were meeting in the pub in, say, 1 hour to discuss this...
