[Question] Was CFAR always intended to be a distinct organization from MIRI?

When what would later become CFAR first started as a series of rationality workshops run under the purview of MIRI in 2012, was it always the intention of CFAR’s founders to have it be a project/​organization distinct from MIRI since its beginning? Or, did CFAR’s founders decide to incorporate CFAR as an organization separate from MIRI after it became clear the rationality workshops weren’t a fit project for MIRI itself later on?
