Wayne Mackintosh talks in detail about the events that let to the shuttering of the Open Educational Resources Foundation by 'the shareholder', specifically, Te Pūkenga (New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology). Mackintosh is remarkably restrained throughout, focusing on facts of the matter, and not speculating at all about why Te Pūkenga would have rescinded the 'letter of comfort' or failed to renew board memberships. Though OERF was in fact self-sustaining, it was prevented from raising money to support itself. I'm hoping the global community can find a way to reconstitute OERF. In the meantime, as New Zealand enjoys its summer, I hope the foundation's staff can enjoy a well-earned vacation.
