The Country Code Names Supporting Organisation (ccNSO) has submitted a new recommended policy (pdf) on the retirement process for ccTLDs for approval by the ICANN Board of Directors.
The plan updates the process for retiring country code domains and gives ICANN a set procedure for sunsetting the domains. Under the plan, the retirement process kicks off if there’s a change made to the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 Code Element. The ISO list includes the two-letter country codes assigned to each country.
