Prompted by Yuriʼs email I looked at the state of play with respect to Ukraineʼs cyrillic ccTLD .укр. It is probably 2/3 years since I last looked.

I am most impressed😀

Googling on .укр I get 1420000 results which I think is really good.

What I also found impressive is that for every single site on the first results page, none of them redirect to an ascii nor use frame redirects.

The one thing I would like to change though is for those sites to use Ukrainian Cyrillic in the pathname part of the URL rather than romanised Ukrainian or English. It is easy enough to do this with aliasing ie alias Ukrainian Cyrillic names to ascii names for directories and files.

Here are the sites for the my first page of results:

https://корзина.укр
https://сервера.укр
https://бензопила.укр
https://рисуй.укр
https://арома.укр
https://лайнер.укр
https://світязь.укр
https://казка.укр
http://рибаківка.укр
https://автокурсы.укр

Currently I have not gone beyond the first results page

Folks,
Based on an analysis of messages, nameservers, domain names, it appears that the following accounts might be trolls:
  1. William Donovan
  2. Richard Marson
  3. Danny Dong
  4. Nadira Anggora
  5. Diana Arteaga

My intention is to declare these accounts persona-non-grata on all UASG lists at the end of the day today (i.e., in about 8 hours’ time), unless credible evidence points to the contrary. We will follow a similar process for any other accounts that exhibit similar characteristics.

For reference, I have attached to this email the UASG Expected Standards of Behavior, published in 2016.
