With the future of .io coming into question this week, with the news that the UK will return sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius, I thought it would be a good time to see how ICANN has treated disappearing countries and territories in the past.

As far as I can tell, ccTLDs have been removed from the DNS root on only five occasions since ICANN came into existence in 1998.

In my opinion that has a lot to do with the Canadian currency.

If the provinces keep using CAD then there would still be a union of some kind, but if the US dollar was adopted then .ca would probably be lost.

Maybe domain.on.ca, domain.ab.ca or domain.qc.ca would make a comeback.

Room for thought if you own a lot of valuable .ca's
 
I personally don’t think it will affect .ca’s.

Canada is still too big of a market. I still believe in the .ca market.
