The CWG is soliciting input on the use of three-letter country codes - See https://community.icann.org/x/VIxYAw https://community.icann.org/x/X7XhAg. Cheryl is the only active At-Large participant in the CWG. In generally, the ALAC has taken the position That Should there be no restrictions on the use of a formal country / territory names for 2nd-level domain names, but not HAD Considered Their use as top-level domains in recent years. The three-letter codes Were not available for assignment During the first round of new gTLDs. We are looking for a volunteer to, in consultation With Cheryl, review Whether an ALAC statement is Necessary and Advisable, and if so to draft Such a statement. Please Redistribute This RALOs to your Appropriate That if you feel.
