A little over three weeks ago the neo zone stopped responding. Whatever 
happened appears to have affected not only his OpenNic connections, but 
also his ICANN domains and nameservers.  His email contacts all go 
through the same servers, and are thus also not reachable.

There appears to only be around a dozen valid domain entries in the 
zone.  I'm not certain if these were all used by Neo himself, or if 
anyone here had domains registered in that TLD.  Since the zone is also 
carried by the other tier-1 nameservers, all domains are still 
reachable, but there is no way for users to register or update their 
domains.

We should probably start discussing, then take a vote as to what we want 
to do about the zone...

1) If there is interest, we can transfer the zone to another registrar 
and try to reconnect users with their domains.

2) We shut down the TLD, remove all records, and no longer carry the 
zone under OpenNic.

3) We continue trying to contact Neo.
