Thanks, Bret. I would still suggest that the policy of allocating such codes
probably belongs in the new gTLD strategy, while perhaps the question of how
to "unreserve" can be examined. I have to think about it more, though and
will respond back to you.

In 2000, ICANN wrote: "Under current practice of the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority, one-letter codes are reserved from assignment to
allow for future DNS extensibility." (see, FAQ #47
http://www.icann.org/tlds/tld-faqs.htm).
This is the same reason ICANN provided for now allowing second-level
single letters, which is why I suggested bundling the issues for GNSO
policy purposes.
