[Ctn-crosscom] ISO 3166-1 and IDN ccTLD

[Bart Boswinkel]

Dear all,
To clarify:
To be ELIGIBLE for an IDN ccTLD, the country or territory has to be included in ISO 3166-1. This is the core of the reference to ISO 3166-1 inn the Fast track process or overall proposed policy. Note, this is only one of the requirements. The string itself has to be a meaningful representation of the name of the country or territory (in an official language of that country or territory): hence could be 2-3 or more characters.
Kind regards,
Bart

Serbia uses .rs in ASCII as far as I know. See: https://centr.org/members?page=2

Thank you Mirjana for this interesting information. Does it mean that the 2 letter code for Serbia is not being used as a ccTLD? This would dilute a little bit the line between 2 and 3 letter codes in our present discussion.

Dear all,

I want to give some clarifications about the role of  ISO  3166-1 and registration of IDN ccTLD.
ISO 3166-1 is used  primarily for registration of ASCII TLD.

The codes for countries from this table could be used in registering IDN ccTLD but it has to be  the choice of the internet community form corresponding country according to the Fast track process for registering IDN ccTLD.

For example Serbian internet community had chosen the string “срб” in Cyrillic script which is the same as “srb” in Latin.This string is also ISO 3166-1 alpha 3 code for Serbia.

If someone is interested in procedure that is fulfilled in “srb” case , I can provide additional information

Best regards
Mirjana Tasic
