The UK has finally agreed to hand over the Chagos Islands. I think this comes into effect on June 1st. https://news.sky.com/story/uk-signs-deal-to-hand-over-control-of-chagos-islands-13372755
Now we wait to see what the fate of the .io TLD is.
Unless IANA decides to vary its (relatively new) policy on this, .io registrations should stop imminently and the zone will have a maximum of 10 years before being deleted.
@russss I was on the Iccan wiki about that last night, turns out theirs a bunch of drama surrounding who was supposed to get the proceeds from .Io and turns out neither government has and it's just some guy???
@jon I could be totally wrong it was very late when I read it.
But it would appear the UK government are like we didn't get any money and the changos are saying the same??
It's acting like a ggTLD already
