There is a relation between aplha-3 codes and gTLDS. In my reading of Applicants Guide Book Section 2.2.1.4 point 1, apha-3 codes are considered an off limits if listed in ISO 3166-3. (That's why google retracted some applications because they collided with his rule). Of course, the list above is "1918-like space" but still so it doesn't matter that much;. However, one might want to be consistent in threating 1918-like thingies. jaap _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
