The CEO said:

For .ly domains to be unresolvable the five .ly root servers that are authoritative all have to be offline, or responding with empty responses. Of the five root nameservers for the .ly TLD: two are based in Oregon, one is in the Netherlands and two are in Libya.

This answer from the CEO is a bit of a garbage answer because it does not tell who control these 5 servers. You need at least one server outside of Libya and not in the direct control of Libya. If the 5 servers are controlled by Libya, they just need to SSH and run `shutdown -h now`. Then, even if in Oregon, .ly is dead.

So, the CEO answer is not enough.
