Lets get some facts straight first. Tuvalu (.TV) is probably not a 'countire', but according to the CIA World Factbook (http://umsl.edu/services/govdocs/wofact96/254.htm) it is indeed a country.
The CoCos (Keeling) Islands (.CC) is probably not a 'countire' either, whatever that may be, but according to the CIA World Factbook (http://umsl.edu/services/govdocs/wofact96/63.htm) it is indeed a country, currently administered as a territory by the Commonwealth of Australia.

This point was raised by a dozen or so folks in Geneva. A sincere "thank you" for your input and a heartfelt "bite me" for the way it was presented. -- "I think it is important to understand that distribution of authority is better than dictatorship, and that the governance of TLDs and domains in general should be distributed rather than centralized." - Paul Mockapetris -------- Logged at Wed Sep 16 16:19:13 MET DST 1998 ---------
