Even if we had to license the name from WMF, for a $1 a year, to make

don't see why that would be a problem for us.
I don't see any problems with it at all; it does tie us more closely to
the WMF. It would only be a problem if the Canadian operation became
divorced from WMF, and wanted to continue doing its own thing.
"Wikimedia" is already registered as a trademark in Canada.
