OK.  I know I'm new but:
 
WWHHHHYYYYYYY????
 
Why not?  Why is this regulation in place?  I *know* that I'm missing something here...

>From the ccNSO LA Minutes:

24-04 IT WAS RESOLVED that the ccNSO Council
recommends that the ICANN Board apply the following
principles in the new gTLD process:

No name of a territory as listed in ISO 3166-1 or a
meaningful abbreviation of it, whether represented in
a non ASCII script or in any recognised language
represented in that script, shall be available as a
gTLD. This principle should be revisited once the IDN
ccPDP Recommendation, if any, is adopted by the Board.
