It isn't super popular, no. I think the requirements are pretty strict if I remember correctly (edit: https://www.iana.org/domains/int/policy).

I think esa.int is probably one of the more popular .int domains on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=esa.int

In meteorology, you also have ecmwf.int (the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts).

It would have been better if the requirements also included the domain name had to start with a letter between I and N (inclusive).

But I guess this is what you get when these things get away from technologists.

interpol.int also comes to mind.

Probably the most appropriate one. The ESA is not quite part of the EU and has non-EU member states (including _Canada_), so .eu would be inappropriate (the EU is itself a member of ESA, but most EU member states are also members in their own right.)

The joke goes that thanx to Trump, Canada might actually join the EU.
