IANA has accepted even very poor requests from governments like the one from .SO last year.
ICANN or IANA? Several years back it was ICANN that transferred a ccTLD (I think it was Sudan or Afghanistan) based on nothing but a single sheet of non-letterhead paper with a few handwritten sentences and an unverified signature of an unknown person. (I think I was on the ICANN board when it happened.) I don't remember the details but didn't the the US gov't transfer .us without even bothering with ICANN or IANA? --karl--
