Hello,
The risk is cybersquatting, i.e someone else registering the domain to put
an ad page. For example, Wikimedia Foundation hosts Wikispecies in the
species.wikimedia.org subdomain instead of
wikispecies.org : you can see
the result...
Maybe some money can be reserved in the international budget for the
registration of domains in countries without a chapter or with a small one
? This shouldn't cost a huge amount of money.
Regards,
Sylvain.

Concerning "wikilovesmonuments.TLD" in the
local team timeline: is
such domain name obligatory? We don't have a chapter and we don't have
sponsors yet. On the other hand, we have wikimedia.by domain and
making the project in wlm.wikimedia.by would be fine.
What do you think?
