One important question not touched on my the blog post: Where will the Foundation be located?

Will is be US-based like Mozilla, or will it be somewhere else, like Europe?

A couple of foundations have moved away from the US in recent years, for example the Eclipse Foundation (Belgium) and the RISC-V Foundation (Switzerland).

It seems foundational (if you'd forgive the pun) to know under what laws the foundation will operate, and who (if anybody) will be excluded from taking part in the project because of sanctions regimes.

We have not made that decision yet.

Coordination with Swiss research organisations might provide benefits beyond any generic anti-US sentiment as well. Lots of excellent work happening there at the moment.

To add to that: Switzerland also has a long and stable tradition with Foundations as well.
