The new nations peering is definetky broken but I believed it was an openNIC 
project rather than a partner one. I think if it's something we have records 
of and managed then we should absolutly restore it and ensure those domains 
are working and ready for use.

The NewNations aspect of the alt root seems like something that would align 
with openNICs core mission more than .neo for example. If it's just a matter 
of assuming the project itself is dead and then taking it over, I'd happily 
put up my hand and merge it into my proposal as it would align more with my 
system.

There is quite a mess in the Tier 1 servers currently, which I think
needs to be addressed.  ALL of the following servers are marked as
offline due to no response or very limited response.  The big question
here is, if the owners don't respond and get their servers back online,
should we consider dropping these TLDs?

NS3 (since Jan 2019) .neo -- neo
This one is disabled, I assume they meant to come back?  The last zone
update was in 2017.

NS5 (offline since Apr 2024) -- verax
No TLDs, this was just an extra T1 server in the Netherlands.

NS9 (since Apr 2025) .o -- jonaharagon
NS11 (since Apr 2024) .o -- jonaharagon
Last zone update was 2024 and there are ZERO domains listed. Waiting to
see if he responds on IRC.

NS10 (since Dec 2025) .null and .oz -- mars
Seems to be resolving all TLDs except their own.  Both TLD zones was
last updated in December and have an extensive list of domains. This one
is probably still alive and just needs some admin intervention.

NS12 (since Jun 2020) .cyb -- sy, albino
The last zone update was in 2019.  There is a decent list of domains
registered, but I don't know if anyone still uses them?

NS13 (since Oct 2023) .epic -- okashi_o
I believe the last zone update for .epic was in 2020.  Again, no idea if
anyone is still using these domains.

NS14 (since Jun 2024) .chan -- OWNER UNKNOWN
The last zone update for .chan was in 2019

So at the very least, we should have a discussion about removing or
re-homing .neo, .cyb, .epic, and .chan.  If there is still interest in
these TLDs I can always add them to the registration server at be.libre
or someone else can take over, but this would require all current domain
owners to claim their domains so they could be re-registered from the
new host.

In addition, we should have a vote about removing peering with
NewNations (ti uu te ku rm ko) since they have been broken for several
years now.  Does anyone have any discussion about that before I start a
new thread to being voting?

The same applies for peering Emercoin (bazar coin emc lib).  I don't see
that those domains are responding either, so I believe they should be
removed.  Again, is there any discussion about this peer before I start
a vote?
