 @mttaggart @bortzmeyer @mwl FAR MORE than 5 years. First ISO has to do something. Then this current IANA rules may happen: https://www.iana.org/help/cctld-retirement which states itself "after 5 years" (which doesn't give any upper bound, nice)  @bortzmeyer In the end Google will operate it as a new vanity TLD :D @mttaggart @mwl  @juliank @mttaggart @mwl Yes, it may be something like that. (Probably under a mauritian umbrella.) @juliank @bortzmeyer @mttaggart @mwl I do not think this will be allowed; two-letter TLDs must be ccTLDs |
@bortzmeyer @mwl The timeline is 3-5 years, which I suspect IANA will maintain is ample time for adjustment. It would introduce a good deal of link rot, however, so I do hope you're correct.
