On the other hand, as I said, there are likely more than the 9 .org TLDs I mentioned, so there probably is (if not, should be?) an automated system of reminders or something to that effect. This system could easily be extended to add one or a few more.
Btw, if we consider the wi.ki domain, which would be the _only one_ we'd need to add for this purpose, so I really can't see any reason to not do it (except perhaps unwillingness to add to the "wiki" --> "wikipedia" misconception?)

ps - ok, even if we didn't get a price reduction from the current owner and have to buy it for the $992 it currently costs (see https://domaininfo.com/search_result_xml.asp?domain=wi&tld=ki%C2%A4cy=US...), we would have to pay $1,000/yr for the renewal ( http://www.tak.ki/what-we-do/domain-name-registration.html), which doesn't sound very cost-effective. But you'd think an email from, say, Jimmy Wales ;) could get a price reduction from the Telecommunications Authority of Kiribati, wouldn't you? :D
pps - I just wanted to point out to a related thread, from 2010, in the Village pump: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29/Archive_...
