Re: [ga] FYI: Future of .su

[Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>]

Does anyone have some kind of statistics on the number of active  
current registrations in .su?  About how many active registrations  
is this discussion?

Also, is .SU still open for registration, or is it in "lingering  
state"?

Just wondering,
