* In the hands of Guillaume.
* Simon contacted the registrant and convinced him to transfer it to us – we are covering the cost.
 
=== Country top level domain name registrations ===
 
[https://www.gandi.net/ Gandi] is sponsoring us.
 
OSMF has recently purchased country domain names with reasonable prices:
* Greece
* Singapore
* Peru
* Philippines
 
<u>Examples of expensive domain names</u>
* Bulgaria
* Egypt (~500 USD)
 
<u>Budget questions</u>
* [[Licensing_Working_Group|LWG]] or [[Operations_Working_Group|OWG]] budget?
* How much does the board want to budget for country domain registration?
* Register more middle priced ones?
 
<u>Points mentioned during discussion</u>
* For a lot of countries you cannot register a top level domain, unless you have an entity registered in that country.
* Maybe register in countries where OSM has presence.
 
'''Action item:''' Simon to create a spreadsheet of top level country domains with info about whether registered by OSMF or not.
 
== Any Other Business ==
=== Thanks to Nuno for participation ===
''Nuno had decided to place OSMF/OSM on hold for the near future.''
 
=== Any interest in trying out [[Toolshttps://bigbluebutton|.org/ BBB]BigBlueButton] instead of [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mumble Mumble]? ===
 
'''BBB advantages'''
* Screen sharing.
* Does not need local software.
* Not necessary to use a webcam.
* OSMF has a server: https://osmvideo.cloud68.co
 
'''BBB potential disadvantage'''
=== Any interest in trying out [[Tools/bigbluebutton| BBB]] instead of [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mumble Mumble]? ===
