What's your point? .io is operated by a Internet Computer Bureau, that is owned by Identity Digital. Identity Digital manages (sponsors/owns) ~30% of TLDs.
> Identity Digital / Donuts is either the ICANN-approved sponsor organization or owns controlling interest in the ICANN-approved sponsor organization for 264 top-level domains,[12] approximately 30% of all generally-available TLDs.

- jsheard 2y agoMy point is that .io represented a state which officially has zero permanent residents, which probably shouldn't have inspired confidence in its continued existence. Yes the paperwork was outsourced to Donuts in this case, but the principle of doing your due diligence on a TLD still applies.
- mnau 2y agoMoot point. I was born in Czechoslovakia (.cs). It had whooping few thousands registered names (the biggest of decommissioned TLDs). It was later discontinued and we have .cz and .sk instead. .cs was reborn for Serbia and Montenegro and decommissioned again. Here is the moral: any domain can go away. We had millions of permanent residents and yet it went away.
- echelon 2y agoEasy fix: the ccTLD is now a gTLD.
- apitman 2y agoI'm pretty sure all 2-character TLDs are reserved for country codes.
