Hello,
I took the liberty to register the two remaining .EU domains commonly associated with Wikimedia (wikiversity.eu and wikimediafoundation.eu). Both are currently redirects to the respective .org pages. Since eurid (the EU domain registration authority) just suspended thousands of .EU domains for not being particularly "European", I'd suggest that portals be placed on those two domains with links to European versions of Wikiversity and Wikimedia chapters, respectively.
Regards,
Sebastian Moleski

Hi,
after less than a year .eu registration finally have results
wikipedia.eu was finaly lost to subject actively hostile to Wikimedia, see www.wikipedia.eu. (It's not because they were that clever or agressive, but because Wikimedia wasnt much active)
wikimedia.eu is probably going to be lost as Wikimedia didnt even applied

Hi,
the 1st sunrise period for .eu domain registration is going to begin soon - 7 December 2005 only domain names which are registred EU community/national trademarks will be registered.
I'm not sure about the status of Wikimedia trademarks, but guess at least Wikipedia a Wikimedia are suitable. IMO "we" should apply at least for wikipedia.eu and wikimedia.eu.
Because of trademark issues and eu regulations concernig who can apply for .eu, I'm affraid it will be a bit complicated. I hope someone from the foundation can take care of it.
(If the process is allready going, sorry :-)
