Today at IETF 84 in Vancouver, Lynn St. Amour and I announced the creation of the Open Internet Endowment and its initial campaign focused on ensuring the IETF's long-term financial health and continued independence. The web site is up and running.  It offers more information and accepts contributions.

	http://www.openinternetendowment.org

The Open Internet Endowment has been established by the Internet Society, with the support and direction of IETF leadership, based on discussions that have taken place over the past several years. This announcement is intended as a "family launch" to the IETF community. It gives our community an opportunity to be a "first supporter" of this effort.  The "family launch" will end when we make a public announcement in the near future.
 
Please consider supporting this effort and making a donation today!
 
Thanks for all you do for the Internet,
   Russ
