Roberto,

The ICANN was well aware of using ISO 3166-1 2-letters standard, but had 
no clue that they have to communicate with ISO 3166/MA to take care of 
a standard they are relying upon.

Eventually ICANN woke up, and accepted to join the ISO 3166/MA (and spent 
3 years not participating in any ISO 3166/MA debate or meeting; the very 
first ICANN's deleguee to ISO 3166/MA showed up last August).

I do hope that ICANN learned the lesson as well.

Kind regards,
Elisabeth
