I signed up for, and contributed to, the Open Internet Endowment based on commitments that its mission would be very broad, not be turned into an IETF support fund. I don't believe donors were even superficially consulted about the change. What would happen if I (and maybe others who feel the same way) were to ask for refunds on the basis that we never agreed to repurposing of the funds?
I am in the same position. I feel a bit weird about it. I would not have donated if it was just for IETF - I'm already mostly self-funded on that. So I was a bit disappointed when this initiative turned out to be an IETF fund. Paul
