"This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. "

Companies pay MarkMonitor to NOT make these mistakes. So... GoDaddy failed?

Yeah I don't understand this. MarkMonitor themselves are a registry, so is the potentially a mistake in migrating from GoDaddy to MarkMonitor?

GoDaddy operates the .us TLD, so Zoom registered the domain through Markmonitor, who acquired it from GoDaddy, who shit the bed and broke everything.

ah-ha! Didn't consider that GoDaddy operates the TLD (in my mind I assumed it was just Verisign). Thank you for pointing that out.

It used to be operated by Neustar, but GoDaddy bought out their domains business in 2020.
