An example of this would be errors or misconduct in completing past projects.

When I asked Anna about the coordination between SIAI and FHI, something like "Do you talk enough with each other that you wouldn't both spend resources writing the same research paper?", she was told me about the one time that they had in fact both presented a paper on the same topic at a conference, and that they do now coordinate more to prevent that sort of thing.

I have found that Anna and others at SIAI are honest and forthcoming.
