CEA has to post all project proposals over a certain amount to the EA forum?
Yes, that sounds about it. Although I would add decisions that are not very expensive but are very influential.
What if they only appeal to specific funders?
What do you mean?
How much of a tax on the time of CEA staff are we willing to pay in order to get this additional transparency?
A significant amount. This is well worth it. Although in practice I don’t imagine there are that many decisions of this calibre. I would guess about 2-10 per year?
That’s pretty unclear to me. We are in the position of maximum hindsight bias. An unusual and bad event has happened, that’s the classic point at which people overreact about precautions.

I’ve been writing the same calls for transparency for months. This has nothing to do with FTX.
