John, Paul let me ask the obvious question. What were you expecting the Open Internet Endowment to do beyond the IETF? Outreach to National Regulatory Authorities, for instance? Support for independent research beyond IRTF? Better funding for young technologists? It’s a serious question. ISOC’s mission statement isself relatively amorphous.
Honestly, I don't remember. There was some presentation I listed to at one of the IETF's and it appealed to me and I wanted to donate. I thought it would do something new and different. I did not expect to be paying "some extra IETF fees". Paul
