FYI: Faroe Islands (.fo) and Greenland (.gl) are parts of Denmark (.dk) and they have _never_ been independant countries. Why did they get their own ccTLD in the first place?
I have no idea. Ask Jon Postel. -- "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 Mon Sep 14 16:45:38 MET DST 1998 ---------

No, read rfc1591. The possible ccTLDs are defined by the United Nations and published by ISO as ISO standard 3166. The IANA has -very wiselty- decided to use that list and not get involved in arguments exemplified by this thread. Daniel -------- Logged at Mon Sep 14 18:05:46 MET DST 1998 ---------
