Hello,<div><br></div><div>The risk is cybersquatting, i.e someone else registering the domain to put an ad page. For example, Wikimedia Foundation hosts Wikispecies in the <a href="http://species.wikimedia.org">species.wikimedia.org</a> subdomain instead of <a href="http://wikispecies.org/">wikispecies.org</a> : you can see the result...</div>
<div><br></div><div>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&#39;t cost a huge amount of money.</div><div>
<br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Sylvain.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/2/6 Paul Selitskas <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:p.selitskas@gmail.com">p.selitskas@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Concerning &quot;wikilovesmonuments.TLD&quot; in the local team timeline: is<br>
such domain name obligatory? We don&#39;t have a chapter and we don&#39;t have<br>
sponsors yet. On the other hand, we have <a href="http://wikimedia.by" target="_blank">wikimedia.by</a> domain and<br>
making the project in <a href="http://wlm.wikimedia.by" target="_blank">wlm.wikimedia.by</a> would be fine.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
