The I.J. Good Institute-- I have no idea what the IJ stands for.

Did you not understand that "I.J. Good" is a person's name? (Note that in this thread ciphergoth asserts that everyone recognizes the form as a name, despite your comment which I read as a counterexample.)

At this point, I'm not sure what I was thinking. It's plausible that knowing what the initials meant would be enough to identify the person.

I'm pretty sure I was thinking "ok, I. J. Good founded a foundation, but who cares?".
