I like seeing this. It’s a great thing to try out and seems like a good idea overall, mostly to decrease the unipolarity of the funding ecosystem. Having no overlap in people who work for Open Phil and help out with EAIF/​LTFF seems really important. Though I don’t think there’s any harm for Open Phil to continue matching donations after the six months, but it definitely doesn’t have to be 2:1. 0.5:1 would already be great. I have low confidence in these opinions, just quick thoughts.

FWIW, this is not the current plan – the post mentions a desire to avoid having the same person chair a fund at EA Funds while at OPP, but not about someone being a fund manager at EA Funds while at OPP (though presumably this would only be a minority of fund managers).

I would like to add that it might be important to communicate this in an email to all currently funded projects by EAIF/​LTFF ;)
