I changed the status to retired as the only remaining site dra.hmg.gb has now moved to http://www.dera.gov.uk/. Somone needs to change the status on other pages as well. Travelbird 10:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

, so presumably this domain is still used for something. The fact that
http://hermes.dra.hmg.gb gives an error message indicates that hermes.dra.hmg.gb
isn't being used as an HTTP server, but there are plenty of other things it could be being used for. --

Attempts to obtain a rational explanation from UKERNA and the British Government concerning the suppression of the .gb domain have met with evasive, uncertain and vague responses, even as to who took this decision; yet it is clear that this decision has been taken. It might possibly be indirectly related to the ultimately unsuccessful attempt to change the 'GB' vehicle national identification letters to 'UK' post-1997. It seems a strange decision to positively prohibit the use of this extant domain in a purportedly 'free market' economy.
