@mttaggart @mwl the article only suggests that it might. it is not certain.

if IANA should remove .io , it would be a great case for going opennic and i've been waiting for that to find adoption.

@vekkq @mwl That is a mischaracterization. The article outlines the rules IANA has for these domains and what will transpire if the rules are abided. Maybe they don't for whatever reason, but the established procedure has a predictable outcome.

@mttaggart @mwl The article also outlined cases in which their rules were not abided for decades.

The IANA may decide to act against their rules if it is in contrast with their mission statement "[..] maintaining the trust of the community to provide these services in an unbiased, responsible and effective manner". You could say that It would be irresponsible to shut down .io after it had been widely adopted for other purposes. They may also reclassify .io from a country-code to a generic code instead.
The outcome is not clear.
