>Our initial, more restrictive approach was motivated solely by our desire to protect our volunteers and our members from legal risk In other words: They overreacted, possibly biased by those in charge.

"Our initial, more restrictive approach was motivated solely by pulling something out of our goatse ass."

More seriously, I'd like to understand what legal liability they thought they were exposed to, and how they made that decision so fast, and who.

Good. That this at all happened should make them think about relocating to a country like Switzerland. They're supposed to be an international organisation.

... this is all because IEEE is under US jurisdiction, not Swiss

Could you explain how hard is to move IEEE outside the US?
