So there was a "handover", but the community doesn't "own" the domain name or website as property and, in fact, can't (because the "community" itself doesn't exist as a legal entity). I have no idea of the contract with Reggie on the forum.
I obviously can't talk about contract details, but our aim is that the community can do a graceful transition in late 2012, if it wishes to do so. And if that happens, we'll do our best to help. All software running maemo.org is open source anyway

Reggie also works with us, so in this TMO and the rest of the maemo.org infrastructure are handled similarly (even though they are hosted with separate arrangements).

Domains and trademarks are a question that probably the Council could take up with Nokia.
