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.

Nitpick: The name of the Swiss entity appears to be “RISC-V International Association”, notably an association, not a foundation.

They used to be the "RISC-V Foundation", but changed name when they moved.
