Rahul,
That is a very good point. In the same, I see no compelling reason for
Fedora to hold the domain. We will meet all the criteria in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines#Web_sites. This
will be a site put on by community members for the benefit of the Fedora
community, and since Fedora would have the ability to request a takedown
for trademark violation if those guidelines are no longer met, then
Fedora should have nothing to fear with another party holding the domain.
It isn't fear. It is about what is convenient from a legal and community
perspective. It would merely be easier if we avoid round trips to Red
Hat Legal since Red Hat doesn't have a huge legal team and there is
usually a large pile of issues including Fedora ones (thanks Spot!). If
you really want a separate domain, that is certainly a choice for you to
make. It is all explained in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_community_domains
However note that the trademark guidelines you are referring to as well
as the page above is still a draft and needs vetting from Red Hat Legal.
