<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Work Track 5 members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks to Jaap and Christopher for continuing this conversation and for sharing the below links. This is a brief attempt to summarize some of the points Jaap has previously raised about “exceptionally reserved” codes and consider next steps.
Jaap, please correct, as necessary, but I believe these are the items you have raised:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">They are not officially reserved code points, although data about these codes is available at the ISO’s Online Browsing Platform (<a href="https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#search">OBP</a>),
with the decoding table at <a href="https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en">
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en</a>, and the definition of "exceptional reservations" is included in the current standard, (ISO 3166-1:2013(E/F)) Section 7.5, Reservation of Code Elements<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The list may be out of date<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Not all exceptionally reserved codes have a short and long form name associated with them<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Some exceptionally reserved codes do not refer to a country or territory (for example “UN” for United Nations)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Some places may have more than one code associated with them, for example
<span style="color:black">Tristan da Cunha has both an assigned 2-letter code (SH) and an exceptionally reserved code (TA)</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p>Regarding the fourth bullet above, staff has connected with GDD colleagues to get additional clarification about the relevant provision in the 2012 Applicant Guidebook:
<i><span style="color:black">Applications for strings that are country or territory names will not be approved, as they are not available under the New gTLD Program in this application round. A string shall be considered to be a country or territory name if:
</span></i><span style="color:black">iv.<i> it is the short- or long-form name association with a code that has been designated as “exceptionally reserved” by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency.
</i></span>GDD has confirmed that all such short- and long- form names were reserved, regardless of whether they referred to a country or territory.<span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jaap, I believe your briefly mentioned previously that it might be appropriate to remove or modify this provision of the AGB.
<b>If you would like to include a proposal in the Initial Report, can you kindly provide some language, along with (if possible) a description of the problem that this proposal would solve?
</b>All other Work Track members are welcome to submit proposals on this issue, as well.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a table indeed. Note that wikipedia is not always aligned with the website from ISO. As said in my previous mail, the data is also available at the Online Browsing Platform (<a href="https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#search">OBP</a>) on
the <a href="http://iso.org/">iso.org</a> site. The link for the decoding table is <<a href="https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en">https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en</a>>.<o:p></o:p></p>
