The Soviet Union extension .SU just won’t go away

Posted on April 15th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 1 Comment »

ICANN is still attempting to get rid of the obsolete SU (Soviet Union) extension with little success. While they have managed to turn off the .YU (Yugoslavia) extension successfully last year, they are finding rebellion among Russian webmasters, ISPs and the Registry itself.

To summerise the dispute so far, September saw ICANN release a statement urging “the current .SU operators to make it clear to the .SU registrants the issues surrounding the domain, as well as to freeze new registrations until its future is clear”.

In response, the .SU Registry announced an 80% price cut to the .SU domain, bringing it into line with .RU (Russia) pricing and the proposed launch of an IDN (international) version of the domain extension. Not exactly the reaction ICANN must have been hoping for.
