I signed up for, and contributed to, the Open Internet Endowment

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.
