It would be handy to have an ultra short ___domain name. For example, there is sf.net for sourceforge.net eg: http://bittorrent.sf.net <---> http://bittorrent.sourceforge.net see how easy ?
Line 4 ⟶ 6:
The ideal solution would be a 2 char secondary ___domain ,and a 2 char top level ___domain for example: wp.eu
== 2 char prefixes ==
*wp short for wikipedia
** wp.me is the short ___domain for wordpress.com, this could cause confusion
*mw short for wikimedia
== 3 char prefixes ==
*wip short for wikipedia
*wkp
*wki
*wik
So please try your countries' registrars and email them to make sure that the policy really is true.
==List of names==
Here is a list of tries:
