Actually, a better distinction would be between ISO-controlled allocation and ICANN-controlled allocation, not gTLDs and ccTLDs. For 2 ASCII letters, ISO is now considered authoritative in allocating pair of letters to countries and territories; ICANN's only decision is whether an organization represents that country in RFC-1591 terms. But when it comes to IDN ccTLDs, registries need to pick a 2-char IDN string, submit to ICANN which then decides whether that combination is to become a ccTLD or not; with IDNs there is actual decision on whether that string is to be allocated as a ccTLD.
