Sorry, which secretariat? As far as I know, the official status of ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 codes is specified by the ISO-3166 Maintenance Agency and listed on the ISO website (the “online browsing platform” output for BV being the URL I provided). > which is to say they could not have assigned any domains in it yet, even if > they were inclined to which we are told they are not. ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 codes are used for more than TLDs. > In short, I think this is a possibility not an impossibility or I wouldn't > have asked. “With enough thrust, pigs fly quite well although the landing can be messy.” However, realistically, I suspect you’d need to get the government of Norway to actively pursue something like transitioning BV from their auspices to anywhere else. I also suspect the government of Bougainville (which I gather doesn’t yet exist) would need to request the change (and get an exception from the 50 year hold down timer). I am a bit skeptical...
