Yes, we should open a ticket on trac to transfer the DNS domain to OSGeo.

This is to add more peer review to the process to maintain quality control as well as inclusiveness. For example, a new lab in Malaysia or Brazil , colleagues in labs who know them (esp.  locally ) will be able to nominate them, so we know that they must be good contributors to OSGeo in the future. They will need to fill the simple form (in fact we need only the fields in the current  wiki table ).  we need to simplify the form at https://goo.gl/forms/Yx0Vdpz6HvqJGvE02

I am happy to pay for the geoforall domain renewal costs and I want the domain name donated to the OSGeo Foundation. That will ensure OSGeo will always have full ownership of  the geoforall  domain name. I request Jody and OSGeo web team to let me know the best way to arrange this. It needs to have along term plan and someone in OSGeo webteam to get things like domain renewal done.
