    ccTLD for Montenegro?

    A funny little thought crossed my mind today.
    Seeing as Montenegro is now (soon-ish) to be independent from Serbia, see: http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.ph...1-100834-4850r
    Will they get allocated a ccTLD?
    The .m* seems pretty crammed as it is.

    I also found out that serbia uses .yu, which is a left over from Yugoslavia.
    The whole thing seems rather odd...

    What do you folks think? In the past when new states has been formed, how has it been handled by icann?

    .cs was almost there for "Serbia&Montenegro", and now, I think that Serbia will probably have .rs or will keep .yu . I don't know for Montenegro.

    Seems pretty bad for Montenegro though as all the natural choices are pretty much taken :p

    .mo - Macau
    .mn - Mongolia
    .mt - Malta
    .me - FREE, yay good for them!
    .mn - Mongolia
    .me - FREE, yay good for them!
    .mg - Madagascar
    .mr - Mauritania
    .mo - Macau

    Yeah, perhaps Serbia wont get .cs as it originally was Czechoslovakia. Also, they would probably just sell it off as a Counter Strike domain :p
    How does .rs relate to Serbia?

    Yup it was, but since all "natural choices" were already taken as well the compromised solution was founded in .cs . However, now after Serbia - Montenego = separation, it's not important anymore to be spoken about .cs .

    How does .rs relate to Serbia?
    Well, this way: .rs = relate to Serbia Just kidding.

    (The) Republic of ?

    That has to be the funniest thing I've read all day. But of course you're right.

    But come to think of it, if they do get .me it's a pretty good domain. If they'd want to capitalize on it...

    .ME would be a highly sought after extension---
    dating.me
    messages4.me
    love.me

    Then comes the porn, which I will leave to your imagination.

    I expect that is why it is still open. Icann is not much fun.

    .RS == Republic of Serbia???
