<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Page 21 the three preferences how alpha-3 codes could be handled:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">1) support for opening all ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes to <span style="color:red">
eligiblity </span>as gTLDs (eligibility is misspelled - and the sentence makes no sense! Probably meant as: "...... to be eligible as gTLDs"?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><br>
I do not see any more the option that has already garnered a LOT of support: Treating the 3 letter ISO 3166 alpha 3 codes like ALL other designators in the ISO 3166 (e.g. “BAR” or “TATA”): In the existing AG for ALL 3166 listed elements there is a requirement
that the relevant Government authority has to sign a letter of non-objection! <br>
<br>
So I suggest we either add to 1) that OF COURSE the already established AG requirement for a letter of non-objection would be triggered for alpha-3 codes as well!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Or we have a 4<sup>th</sup> preference.<br>
Indeed: Annex D provides for FOUR possibilities discussed by the SOs/ACs. <br>
<br>
<br>
On page 22 it says:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">“Supporting to open all 3-character codes as gTLDs:<br>
• There is no sovereign or other ownership right of governments in country or territory names, including ISO 3166-1 codes,
<span style="color:red">so there is no legal basis for government veto power on allocation of these codes as gTLDs”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Not true! The AG has a provision whereby ALL ISO 3166 elements need a letter of non-objection of the Government! See “.bar” or “.tata”! Obviously if already a tiny mini municipality like the TATA region (15,000 people, all desert, no
industry, but listed in ISO 3166) requires such a letter then OF COURSE a 3 letter ISO 3166 alpha 3 code requires it as well!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"> I did a quick scan and noticed that something went with the two<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"> apart from that, the first one seemed to have a garbled sentences here<o:p></o:p></p>
