> Because ccTLDs follow a different standard They will just move .io from ccTLD to gTLD, with the UK government's blessing. Everyone realizes there is no point in stopping the money from flowing.

They probably won't, the 2 character space is reserved for ccTLDs by their existing policies. Only 3 characters and up can be gTLDs.

  If the money is good enough, they will make a "grandfathered" exception. Modern ICANN is not about policies for policies' sake.

  It’s insane that anyone thinks ICANN will deprecate one of the most popular TLDs. There is no incentive by anyone for this to happen.
