Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn’t been registering domains since Jan 1.

It’s seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.

    They didn’t seize it. .ml TLD was contracted for 10 years to some Dutch dude. That contract expired on the 17th

      No, the Freenom registrar (the Dutch dude) had a contract to issue .ml domains for 10 years. That expired. Other registrars can register .ml domains without issue, as long as their contracts with the government remain.
