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 :-)

Yes, certainly to those two. And Wikinews, I think (quite high-profile).

I would imagine that Wikimedia France would probably be best-placed to take this on.
Yours,

Our domain applications for wikipedia.eu and wikimedia.eu have been in progress for a month but I am not aware of the trademark application status. Apparently anybody can still submit applications for those exact same domains Not good.

Yes, anyone can take the domain but there are policies.

I think that not only the french foundation should take care about this problem, but also the others european foundations. When the domanin will be assigned there are rules that will be followed if there are problems with one foundation, another will follow in the request.
Ilario
These are the rules:
- Phase 1: If you are a holder of a registered community trademark, national trademark, trademark licensee or a public body you should apply in this phase.
- Phase 2: If you would like to secure your company name or other rights such as unregistered trademarks, trade names, business identifiers, protected literary and artistic work or family names you should apply in this phase.
- General launch. (FREE) In this phase you can apply for any name you like providing you can state your presence within the European Community.
There will be three phases. Wikipedia should be in the first step.

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

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

And they didn't exactly wait long to fill it with content, see wikipedia.eu , a link to a non.existant wiki + a long linklist Michael
