When an airline fails and goes into bankruptcy, it goes into receivership,
and the flights still go on.

A simple solution is always best. Treat them as you would any other

A plan in place for not IF but WHEN some who create tlds fail should
definitely be created as you suggest Danny. But I still stand by the fact my
business plan is none of their business.
