@gerv How was .co.uk handled? My understanding is that also lost special-status. Regarding .com.ru being special/not-special, can anyone register .com.ru? Presumably not, so long as active registrations still exist for it, so wouldn't it still be considered special implicitly, even though no new registrations are allowed? |
News to me! Definitely still special AFAIK. Registrations directly under .uk are now allowed, but that doesn't stop you registering a .co.uk as well, using the same mechanisms and registrars as before. Your second para is my exact question :-) com.ru seems like a fairly obvious one to keep, but there are a lot on the .ru list, and owners of some (e.g. magnitka.ru) want them removed. How do we decide? Do we google for site:wibble.ru and see if there seem to be lots of unrelated 3LD registrations? |
See https://cctld.ru/en/domains/domens_ru/reserved/ Before September 2009, .RU had a list of reserved domains and geographical domains. https://cctld.ru/ru/docs/archive/detail.php?ELEMENT_ID=3446 At its meeting on 30 September 2009, the Council of the Coordination Center for TLD .RU ruled to abolish special types of second-level domain names in domain .RU. As a result, several suffixes become open for registration. The issue was originally tracked in #206 but since then we had several different tickets, some of them requesting single removals: - #206 - #344 - #345 - #340 - #338 - #206 - #43 - #44

Lots of Russian domains lost special status 5 years ago:
http://cctld.ru/en/news/news_detail.php?ID=634&sphrase_id=128335
http://cctld.ru/en/domains/domens_ru/reserved/ now lists only ac.ru, edu.ru, int.ru, gov.ru, mil.ru and test.ru.
However, because they didn't cancel 3rd level registrations when that made e.g. com.ru not special any more, there are still many companies in com.ru. So I don't think we can simply reduce the PSL to the list above. We will need to do an investigation and make our best guess. It may be that we leave the generic ones and remove the regional ones, but we need to look at the situation carefully.
