Resolves yes if there is any announcement in relation to the UK-Mauritius deal on the Chagos Islands, or post-transfer Mauritian governance, that will stop the .io ccTLD from being generally available for commercial use similar to today, e.g. the TLD being abolished.
- A transfer of the ccTLD to Mauritian authority is fine, so long as existing domains are generally preserved and international businesses still able to register domains.
- Resolves no if the deal is called off, or if there is a reasonably trustworthy announcement that clearly confirms its ongoing status for the reasonable future.
- Question closes in 2030 to give time for the final deal to be negotiated and come into effect.
