A very nice thing to do...

Co-opting the OGF URLs to promote your own works and views, even with your
bold declaration that your FAQ is unofficial and unauthorized, is unethical.
Let your own works and view stand on their own merits, and not under the
coat-tails of the OGF.  IMO, the very best you can do if you must maintain
ownership of those two domain names is make a nearly blank page that has two
URLs on it - one to your FAQ, and one to the official site.
