INTRODUCTION

For an entity located in several countries, codes are assigned for each countryb>, or for a larger encompassing region.
For a local geographic feature, region, or jurisdiction, the appropriate code for the countryb> or first order political division in which the entity is located is assigned.
No code is assigned to grammars, textbooks for learning a language, histories of linguistic changes such as changes in phonology, etc. No code is assigned to a work if the subject heading assigned is intended to bring out the language of a publication.

ccTLD Drafting Task Force Countryb>-Code

This document describes the role of IANA and the role of managers of countryb>-code Top Level Domains (ccTLD Managers) in the administration of the DNS with respect to the operation of ccTLDs.
The ccTLD Manager should recognize that some of the functions of the registry may be considered to be a monopoly and should not abuse its special position.
3.3.2.3 The ccTLD Manager should keep the IANA advised of any changes to the information concerning the domain that is maintained in the IANA's register database, and should respond to requests for information from the IANA relating to the status and technical operations of the domain in a timely manner.

FRANK'S COMPULSIVE GUIDE TO POSTAL ADDRESSES

For all other countries, we write the countryb> name as the last line, by itself, in all CAPITAL LETTERS, with no accompanying notations such as postal codes, or hints as to which continent the countryb> is on.
All of these are countryb> names recognized by the USPS, but mail to Corsica should be addressed to France with the correct postcode, e.g.
When more than one name is listed for the same countryb>, you should use your knowledge of current events to choose the one that is most current and acceptable in that countryb>, as we have done in the INDEX, bearing in mind that the choice might be controversial (e.g.

rfc1591.txt

In the case of top-level domains that are countryb> codes this means that there is a manager that supervises the domain names and operates the domain name system in that countryb>.
For top-level domains that are countryb> codes at least the administrative contact must reside in the countryb> involved.
In the countryb> TLDs, there is a wide variation in the structure, in some countries the structure is very flat, in others there is substantial structural organization.

ICANN ICP-1: Internet Domain Name System Structure and Delegation (ccTLD Administration and Delegation)

The selection of the ISO-3166-1 list as a basis for countryb> code top-level domain names was made with the knowledge that ISO has a procedure for determining which entities should be and should not be on that list.
Countryb> code domains are each organized by a manager for that countryb>.
In addition, there are a limited number of "generic" Top Level Domains (gTLDs), which do not have a geographic or countryb> designation.

International Address Formats (Postal/Mailing Addresses) and Other International Mailing Information

Has some good examples, but postal code format shown is the old three digit instead of the new longer format.
Specifically, addresses within some Eastern European and Asian countries are most often written in an order largely reversed from the typical Western order; but when mailing from a Western countryb> it would be a good idea to write the countryb> name at the bottom and a conventional Western order then becomes quite acceptable.
In-countryb> and overseas postage rates for sending different sorts of mail from Australia.

DNS Comments Submitted on 8/30/98

There are more that 200 Countryb> Code TLD Registries active on the internet today, and it is important that the U.S. Government continue to maintain a position of neutrality concerning how these registries are managed now and into the future.
In RFC 1591, the current document that explains how countryb> code registries should be delegated and what the delegated ccTLD registries' responsibilities should be, no mention of the word "government" is made.
RFC 1591 clearly states that the IANA, the current entity with the responsibility for overseeing implementation of countryb> code TLD delegation, "is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a countryb>.

Countryb> code chiefs, registrars mull ICANN breakaway The Register

As Peter Dengate Thrush points out, it only takes a major countryb> code administrator from say, the Germany, the UK or France to take its names to a liberated domain, and all the ISPs in that nation would be obliged to point to the new root server.
We're not exaggerating when we reckon that the next few years of Internet governance now rests with the countryb> code reps, who'll decide whether they want to stay inside the tent, or decide that it's cheaper and less bothersome to have their own root system.
The countryb> code chiefs, responsible for the ccTLDs, have largely been ignored in ICANN decision making, and have no representation at board level says New Zealand barrister Peter Dengate Thrush.

NGA: GNS; FIPS PUB 10-4

As in FIPS 10-3, each basic geopolitical entity is represented by a two-character, alphabetic countryb> code, and each principal administrative division is identified by a four-character code consisting of the two-character countryb> code followed by a two-character, primarily numeric, administrative division code.
A typical entry consists of the two-character, alphabetic countryb> code of each basic entity; the entity name; the designatory term or terms for administrative divisions of that entity; and the names and complete four-character codes of all the principal divisions that comprise the entity.
Each principal administrative division is identified by a four-character code consisting of the two-character countryb> code followed by a two-character administrative division code.

06-05-98 DNS Statement of Policy

More than 200 national, or countryb>-code, TLDs (ccTLDs) are administered by their corresponding governments or by private entities with the appropriate national government's acquiescence.
While day-to-day operational tasks, such as the actual operation and maintenance of the Internet root servers, can be dispersed, overall policy guidance and control of the TLDs and the Internet root server system should be vested in a single organization that is representative of Internet users around the globe.
Further, changes made in the administration or the number of gTLDs contained in the authoritative root system will have considerable impact on Internet users throughout the world.

Domains: Structure -- Countryb> Code Domains

Countryb> code domains can vary in their requirements.
Since some of the countryb> codes are two-letter words in English or other languages, this has been taken advantage of by various people who have set up "redirection services" under addresses like go.to, here.is, i.am, start.at, or for Spanish-speaking people, pagina.de and espacio.de.
Another not-really-a-countryb> with a countryb> code is the Palestinian Authority, with.ps (they used to have a site at gov.ps, but it hasn't worked lately, maybe because of all the problems they've been having at their headquarters these days).

ICANN Communiqué of the Countryb> Code Top Level Domain Managers 26 March 2003

A meeting was held of organisations and persons responsible for administration of 54 countryb>-code top level domains (ccTLDs) in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil between the 23rd and 25th of March, 2003.
The IANA function, as it pertains to ccTLDs, should be a neutral technical function that accepts changes from recognised ccTLD managers, and reflects those changes in the official database of ccTLDs and communicates them to the DNS root zone.
The GAC advised that as part of its work programme, a dedicated ccTLD Work Group was to be constructed to analyse pertinent issues.

New ISO fees on the horizon? CNET News.com

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the many new countryb> designations that followed, the ISO made its countryb> code standard freely available with no usage fees.
Language and countryb> codes currently provide a single, standard way of identifying languages (and locales) throughout the Web.
"Charging (usage fees) for these codes would have a big impact on almost every commercial software product, including operating systems," said Mark Davis, president of software consortium Unicode, which is seeking to set standard character sets for disparate computing systems.

Examination Guide NO. 2-99

For example, some countries require that users of their code be citizens or have some association with the countryb>, while other countries do not.
A domain name is usually preceded in a URL by "http://www." The "http://" refers to the protocol used to transfer information, and the "www" refers to World Wide Web, a graphical hypermedia interface for viewing and exchanging information.
If information regarding this possible ground for refusal is not provided to the applicant prior to the filing of the allegation of use, the Office is in no way precluded from refusing registration on this basis.

Scoop: New I-Root Server Supports Internet in New Zealand

The root server system is a system of 13 file servers that are distributed around the globe and contain authoritative databases that form a master list of all top level domain names (TLDs), including Countryb> Code TLD's (ccTLD's) like.nz.
The function of the root servers, the highest-level authoritative databases of the domain-name system (DNS), is to direct queries to the authoritative nameservers for the top-level domain names.
