Right. Similarly, .SU has been assigned. SU is a bit odd in the sense that it was moved to “transitionally reserved” when the Soviet Union broke up and a batch of new country codes were created (e.g., RU, UA, etc.) and then, in 2007 (or so) it was moved from “transitionally reserved” (which the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency says “stop use ASAP”) to “exceptionally reserved”. The .SU ccTLD is also a bit odd in that it is the only code that does not (officially) have a nation-state (and hence a legal framework) behind it. In practice, I believe it falls under the Russian legal framework.
The European Union (holder of .eu) is not a nation-state either, is it? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra () baylink com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://www.bcp38.info 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA BCP38: Ask For It By Name! +1 727 647 1274
