Donate wikiźródła.pl and wikisłownik.pl to the Foundation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I have managed to keep them away from those naughty domain squatters, however after some thought and deliberation decided to donate them to the Foundation for safekeeping.

The two domain names are:

  • xn--wikirda-p0a62emr.pl (wikiźródła.pl), expires on 2028-05-11
  • xn--wikisownik-e0b.pl (wikisłownik.pl), expires on 2029-10-05

I have already discussed this with @CRoslof via e-mail, so let's use this task to track progress as well as for record-keeping.

Event Timeline

I think the next steps would be:

  • Do the domain transfer (WHOIS still shows previous registrar). @CRoslof will you do this with MarkMonitor's Doneva Dagget?)
  • Tell MarkMonitor to change NS to Wikimedia servers
  • Add to WMF DNS repo, linking to "parked" template.

We are just going to park these to prevent them from being squatted, there is no expectation of redirects, right?

Both domains currently redirect to their respective projects, so that would be the ideal solution, however I’m fine with just leaving them parked, whatever you decide.

As for the WHOIS part, this is stalled on my side as I had to print out some paperwork to get the AuthInfo codes and return it to the current registrar — as in using dead trees.

I’ll pass on the codes to Doneva as soon as I have them.

I passed the AuthInfo codes to Doneva on Saturday 28 December 2019, however she wass out-of-office until 2 January 2020, so I'm currently still awaiting confirmation of receipt and a response.

@tomasz Is @CRoslof looped into the conversation with Doneva?

Not into the message with the AuthInfo codes, however I've now sent it again, copying him in, so hopefully we can close this task in the coming days.

CRoslof claimed this task.

These domain names have now been transferred to the Foundation and I've updated them to use the Foundation's nameservers.
