I very much appreciate the discussion about problem domains.
It would benefit WMF greatly if we had the following:
-List of problem domains (is there a page?) -Petition engine to capture usernames against use of said domains
That will give us what we need to pursue action as laid out by Akash with a minimum of WMF resources having to dedicate time to it.
I can't face looking at the various .org, .net, etc. domains just now, but I've made a first pass at sorting out the list of known ccTLDs -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Domain_names#National_domains_.28ccTLDs.29
Some of these are unregistered; quite a few are inactive or holding pages; at least three are pretty clear squatters.
(As an aside, I note that Bomis owns wikipedia.co.uk, but this is currently inactive - could we poke someone to get this up again? Redirecting to the portal at wikimedia.co.uk would be great...)
