Major outage.
The zoom.us is on an ICANN "serverhold" in the US domain. Other US domains are working. Not sure what's going on with that... It appears to have been placed in this state at: Updated Date: 2025-04-16T18:25:44Z Any reply I make from now on will go to -discussion; just wanted to get this piece of status onto the main list. michael
