Local community domains

[Paul W. Frields]

Hello Infrastructure team, 

We occasionally have local communities that want to set up supporting
sites for spreading Fedora in their region.  They might offer
localized forums or other assistance that helps them spread Fedora in
their respective locales.  Red Hat indicated they would be willing to
purchase a domain for Fedora that we could maintain on behalf of these
local communities.

They purchased "fedoracommunity.org" on behalf of the local
communities, so if we're approached by someone looking for a domain,
we can assign a subdomain like "xx.fedoracommunity.org".  Mike McGrath
worked with us to establish an acceptable way to do this, but we
probably should have a procedure that makes the process acceptable for
the Infrastructure team.

I've started drafting a wiki page here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Local_community_domains

I'd appreciate it if interested parties would review and then edit the
page, or put input on its Talk page.  I want to end up with a clear
process for a community member to follow to request and receive a
community domain.
