Google spokesman Nathan Tyler said: "We're changing the name
'Palestinian Territories' to 'Palestine' across our products. We
consult a number of sources and authorities when naming countries.

"In this case, we are following the lead of the UN, Icann [the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers], ISO
[International Organisation for Standardisation] and other
international organisations."

That is not a territorial issue, but it also shows that usage of
terminology related to Israel/Palestina by UN, ICANN, ISO and "other
international organisation" may play a role for other entities.

What is the reason that the IANA time zone database keeps Jerusalem as
Israel territory as introduced by Arthur David Olson around 1996?
