Dear Maureen, My personal observation, 3-latter should be reserved for ccTLD or IDN ccTLDs . It's makes more strengthen of ccTLDs operators or legal authority of country operators representation in ICANN platform which very important in future.

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. J
