It was announced by the International Corporation ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), which rules the Web addresses zones, that the next year the “outdated” domains can disappear from the Internet.

After at the beginning of December Paul Tumi, a President of ICANN Corporation announced at a Conference, that took place in San Paulo, the idea of cutting some “outdated” domain zones, the foreign and home Media became overwhelmed with the publications on SU. domain liquidation.

Alongside with that Russian Institute for Public Networks and the Foundation for Internet Development, which are in charge of SU.-domain governing, have been closely collaborating with ICANN representatives. Yet there have been made no suggestions about the domain SU. removal. The domain works and all the negotiations with ICANN are of positive character.

ICANN is known by its’ well deliberated and evaluated decisions. Until now it has been only referred to the draft document, beginning of the discussion and working-out of “outdated” domains deletion procedure. It is being also suggested which domains to be erased. It is highly preferable for the talk about if SU. domain is among them to happen in advance.

The Russian party is taking into consideration users’ interests as crucial for any further decision on SU. domain.

It is emphasized that SU. domain is a territorial one, being in 1990 deputed by the public organization SUUG (Soviet Unix Users Group) for creating a domain names zones on the territory of USSR. It means that SU. domain is not governmental. It can not be deleted at once; moreover, no one is planning to do so.
