Wikipedia would likely qualify because of the educational work that it does. As much as it may be a beneficial move, I don't know if a move from a ".com" to a ".org" would do the trick since these are both seen as American even if such designations are available world-wide. The uncommon use of ".us" domains probably adds to the perception that they imply an American organization. These issues have become even more sensitive since President George III has been fanning the flames of anti-Americanism. This makes the ".es" domain more attractive. There may also be another international sensitivity at play in this issue that does not involve Americans. What proportion of the participants in Spanish Wikipedia and Enciclopedia Libre are from Spain rather than from its former colonial empire. I suspect that many latin americans may be just as resentful of ".es" domains as they are of ".com". It is important to look at Spanish Wikipedia as Spanish language rather than Spanish nation.
