Top-level
 @mttaggart @mwl I had no idea that was a region indicator as I'd only ever seen it in something like a "github.io" context where it clearly meant an automated service endpoint. I feel like it really needs to be an all or nothing deal at this point. The top level domains should *all* be like this or none of them. No more bare .com , it's .com.us or similar and then the problem largely solves itself. 5 comments
@syllopsium @gooba42 @mttaggart @mwl @bitterdonald @syllopsium @gooba42 @mttaggart @mwl For the purposes of country codes, a country is a legally independent political entity. So Jersey is a country, Scotland is not — both belong to the British Crown, but only one has actual independence. @lpar @bitterdonald @gooba42 @mttaggart @mwl Note that whilst Scotland and Wales aren't legally independent political entries, there's nothing stopping you using https://dot.scot/ or https://eincartrefarlein.cymru/ (the latter is run by the UK domain registrar) For any part of Ireland there's https://www.weare.ie/. Nic.ie is unfortunately a transport company. Oh dear Ireland. Crown dependency registrars are https://www.channelisles.net/ and https://www.nic.im/home.mth |

@gooba42 @mttaggart @mwl If you're keeping things standardised like that, it should be .co.us[1]
Strictly speaking too, every single .uk domain should be cancelled, and all renamed to .gb.
The ship has sailed on designing the system properly, there's too much precedence. Arguably although I wasn't really in favour of the expansion of tld which I saw (correctly) as a cash grab, at least some non geographic tlds that will be unaffected by war and politics are a good idea.
[1] Just give me five minutes prior to it going live for everyone else, so I can register cous.co.us and show everyone the wonders of semolina granules.
