ISO-3166 TLDs

[Scott Bradner <sob@newdev.harvard.edu>]

a number of people have asked why the IAHC has not addressed the 
assignment &/or operation of the ISO-3166 TLDs.

from the IAHC charter

--
Each registry in the
hierarchy is delegated authority from the registry above. A
number of "Top Level Domain" (TLD) registries already exist:
one for each country, and a small number which are
international (iTLD) such as .com, .org and .net. 

. . .

IAHC is an international multi-
organization effort for specifying and implementing policies
and procedures relating to iTLD. 
---

i.e. addressing the ISO-3166 TLDs is outside of the IAHC charter

some might argue that it should not have been but in any case it is
