I asked this as a comment on my previous post, but I still have some questions. 1: If ML stands for Mali and they’re not from Mali, then why would they represent a foreign country? 2: Since it’s not Mali, what does the ML stand for? If it’s a pair of letters, it represents a country or stands for two words. Machine Learning? McCartney Lennon? Mega Lemmy?

I’ve always hated that about DNS, I think it should have been more governed. For example with .gov, well .gov from the first point.

  • .gov shouldn’t be anything really except for like UN or something. It shouldn’t imply US.
  • US should be .us.gov, or Australia au.gov.
  • Ohio then should be ohio.us.gov
  • Akron of course akron.ohio.us.gov
  • and then logically all things like if you wanted to email the treasurer of Akron, Ohio it would be treasurer@akron.ohio.us.gov.

instead we have crazy domains like akronohio.gov. I mean, just the wild west of domains out here. It could have been so organized, people

Given my username, I was naturally very surprised as I read through your example. (Totally agree btw, but that would make too much sense)
