Hello, The risk is cybersquatting, i.e someone else registering the domain to put an ad page. For example, Wikimedia Foundation hosts Wikispecies in the species.wikimedia.org subdomain instead of wikispecies.org : you can see the result...
Maybe some money can be reserved in the international budget for the registration of domains in countries without a chapter or with a small one ? This shouldn't cost a huge amount of money.
