**Solution** proposal: use another [domain
name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name), and redirect the *geocode
resolution* to OpenStreetMap (or others like [Wikipedia's
Geohack](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Pra%C3%A7a_da_S%C3%A9¶ms=23_33_01_S_46_38_02_W_source:kolossus-ptwiki_type:landmark)).
But a good name.
I can **donate the domain name `osm.codes` to this community**. Domain
ownership can be similar to that of a condominium: the OSM Foundation owns 45%
of the property (to manage foundation's trademark "OSM") and a set of OSM
interested members who are also here at *this issue* split the 55% ownership.
The only objective of the `osm.codes` will be redirect or "resolve"
[geocodes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocode). **Not only OLC**, but also
Geohash, postcodes, OSM-IDs and others elected by this community and it rules.
Dividing between 10 or more people the *annual cost* (host solution + maintain
domain) will be minimal, 20 dollars per person or less. The cited other tools
of the OSM ecosystem (like Osmand, OrganicMaps, Mapy.cz, etc.) can be also
invited to contribute.
PS: as an [persistent and official
domain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistent_uniform_resource_locator) it
can be used in other initiatives, like
[Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P402), that need not only ID
of relations, but also node-IDs and way-IDs interacting with it. It is easy to
configure all at NGINX.
