Really cool initiative. I recently finished an EA Intro Virtual Group, and I definitely resonate with the benefits of being part of such a group that you describe. I also like the structure and points about the spirit of reading groups you provided.
One point that might be challenging with organizing something like this is delegating meta responsibility to a stranger. I’ve tried something similar in the past and very few people volunteered, and of those, not many were able to keep up with their meta tasks.
It might be easier to start small with one group, and slowly recruit discussion organizers from previous participants over time. Does anyone else have tactical tips for how to make something like this happen with as few bumps as possible?
