The .io country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is not set to disappear imminently, as a recent treaty will allow a transition period of five years before any determinative actions are taken.
While the ownership of the British Indian Ocean Territory is in transition, the future of the .io domain remains uncertain; theories suggest it might be retired following the transfer to Mauritius.
ICANN stated that a change in the sovereignty of the British Indian Ocean Territory could modify the eligibility of the .io domain, depending on ISO standards.
The potential outcomes surrounding the .io domain arise from a treaty transfer to Mauritius, where different scenarios might emerge based on the relationship and operational needs with the new governing entity.
