Congratulations to SU on Preservation Day!
Did you know that today is the real birthday of the domain zone SU? It was on September 19, 1990 that the corresponding entry appeared in the InterNIC database. Thus, SU is celebrating its eighteenth birthday. It can be said that SU lived to his age.
The domain zone SU was created for use in all countries that were previously part of the USSR. Its first administrator was the association of Soviet UNIX users. Initially, the SU zone was considered exclusively as temporary, which was supposed to provide the post-Soviet space with domains during the transition period. The Committee for the maintenance of the registered codes of the countries of the International Organization for Standardization has set the maximum reservation period for the code SU 50 years.
However, almost from the very emergence of the domain zone SU, it was almost always under the threat of closure. Particularly active pressure on it began after the emergence of national zones RU, UA and their ilk. Until now, many people are convinced that the SU domain zone is superfluous. However, in the summer of this year, the International Standardization Organization Country Code Services Committee made changes to the databases. Now SU code is reserved indefinitely. This means that the struggle that has been waged in recent years for this domain zone has ended well. And we can, with a clear conscience, congratulate SU on coming of age!
