New website for Worldwide Information and Warning Service (replace gmdss.org)

I see the WMO-IMO Worldwide Met-Ocean Information and Warning Service changed its domain (I reckon at the beginning of 2023).

* Old website: http://www.gmdss.org

* New website: https://wwmiws.wmo.int

Unfortunately the old domain has just been removed from the internet, so no warning, notice, or better, redirects are in place now: which for me it's pretty bad.... anyhow this post may help people like me finding out the new website.

I had to scan web archive to find it: indeed I see a notice in the November and December 2022 homepagehttps://web.archive.org/web/20221214172309/http://www.gmdss.org/

This is an United Nation agency: they should not replace domains this way.

agreed. as always, the old domain is to be held for at least a few years with a redirect or notice-then-redirect if the domain is slated for sale.

also WTF .int ??? this looks scammy
