In article <CAF4+nEE5+nF_biteqsbEThU8tSeN7SwuCZLun3MHuJYVGvn0rQ@mail.gmail.com> you write: >> a three letter code that already exists as a gTLD. Afaik there are no >> clashes right now, but past results are not a guarantee for the future. > >COM is the three letter code for the Comoros Islands. I believe it is >also used by a few entities as their TLD :-) That is the only name in the alpha-3 3166 list that's delegated as a TLD, but I will admit that it could be problematic. Fun fact: there are enough names in .com to give 200 names to every resident of the Comoros. I have seen the arguments about reserving alpha-3 3166 codes and have never seen any plausible explanation of what problem it is supposed to solve. Every place with a three letter code has a two letter code, and the argument that the three letter codes are somehow more mnemonic or better known is ridiculous. (Quick, what are BES, COD, and TLS?)
