Same here, but the registered name must have physical offices in our 
country -- Canada. If there are not, then you may not register. You can 
try, but you may lose your domain at any time though. I am not sure if 
this is the case for a "foundation". I imagine, the registration of a 
foundation would follow a more legal approach and require registration 
in each country.
