Congrats Shem and to all the Southern Sudanese people. This will be a popular domain name not only in South Sudan but with the web users as a whole. I can't help imagining names like go.ss cla.ss plus many other interesting names. I hope it will be unrestricted like Somalia's .so for the benefit of the global internet community(a good source of foreign exchnage earnings for South Sudan :-) )

Subject: [kictanet] SOUTH SUDAN - Dot-SS Internet Domain - We Got IT!

Friends,

We got it! Dot-SS (alpha-2) for the Internet domain code, and "SSD" for the ISO alpha-3 numeric code.

Thanks to all who made this a reality one way or other.

Shem
