     @Paradox@raru.re @julia@eepy.moe most if not all domains are sponsored by a separate entity, and when that entity dies it is sort of a question mark what happens.
     
     like .fox is owned by the fox businesses, if they were to cease to exist the domain would remain without sponsor and likely vanish. same w/ google and .dev
     
     the thing you're suggesting is that IANA sponsors it instead like general purpose TLDs but they've already stated they won't ever be doing that again

     @ada @julia
     IO just needs to exist as its own thing like com, net, etc, cuz it's too popular.
     Imagine if Tuvalu decided to change their name and .tv suddenly died. Not that they would because I think that's a lot of their income, but still.

     @julia@eepy.moe the country that represents .io, the British Indian Ocean Territories, are signing a treaty with the UK to gain independence. When that is signed, the territories will cease to exist and each will set up their own government. And by extension, .io will cease to exist as well because the country doesn't exist anymore.
