Thanks Sarah! Is something written up about the CEA donation system? I'm surprised that that's a priority, but obviously know zero details.

Note that some of the founders have pledged to donate 80% of their equity. 

Yeah, I agree that the hypothetical EA seems less like a "radical" abolitionist (for some definition of "radical"). 

Your hypothetical EA sounds kind of like an abolitionist to me :)

The Society formed a ways-and-means committee to deal with the difficulty that more than half of the members, including Troup and Jay, owned slaves (mostly a few domestic servants per household). The committee proposed a plan for gradual emancipation: members would free slaves younger than 28 when they reached the age of 35, slaves between 28 and 38 in seven years' time, and slaves over 45 immediately. This proposal failed however, and the committee was dissolved.

Thanks for finding this and writing it up! And thanks to FRI for updating their report. 

I feel confused about this response. You're asking for people to give you examples of a thing occurring, I'm asking by what date range you wish to see examples in.

What time frame are you interested in? E.g. if someone says that they have <30y timelines today, would that meet your criteria?
