Those sound like good ideas (except the first one), but they aren't ideas for allaying your fears that SIAI will make an evil AI (except the last one). They are ideas for allaying your fears that SIAI won't put your donation to good use. (Except the last one.)

They are ideas for allaying fears that SIAI is incompetent or worse. Which, since it is devoted to building an AI, would tend to allay fears that it is building an evil one.

Basically incompetent organizations that try to build AI just won't do anything.
