At-Large Use of Country and Territory Names as Top Level Domains
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 1, 2015

Oct. 1, 2015

Dear At-Large members Country codes are traditionally a 2-letter string. The new gTLD process is enabling country and territory codes to be expanded to 3-letters (or even as whole names). The “Cross Community Working Group for the Use of Country and Territory Names as Top Level Domains” is asking: 1. Should these new 3-letter country/territory codes be reserved ONLY as ccTLDs *OR* should they be open to everyone as gTLDs? (This question refers to 3-letter code IDN ccTLDs and IDN gTLDs as well) 2. What advantages or disadvantages does your answer offer either group (ccTLDs or gTLDs)? Please return your answers to these two questions to me asap.
