Re: ISO 3166 namespace administration

Michael,

For me at least, it would be REALLY useful if IANA would comment on this.
However, sending mail to IANA in my experience is like spitting into the
Arabian Sea, makes no difference.

No Perry, please do not speak for IANA again, let IANA talk.

Does IANA own and control ISO TLDs? Do they agree that there should be one
policy for all entries in "."

Or more to the point does IANA still own "."?

Kevin

after IANA reply(not!), I will rush in with my condo drawing and make money
like all the other speculators here,..... just kidding :-)

Actually maybe Jeff is Jon Postel in disguise?
