It does not. It only lists the subdivisons of the entities mentioned in ISO 3166-1 > The RIPE NCC website, however, does not > reference ISO 3166-2 explicitly; it only mentions ISO 3166. No, it (*) mentions 3166 but refers to 3166-1 explicitly. The wiki page you mention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2) is not the official standard. apart from that, it says that ISO 3166-2 "defines codes for identifying the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1". For official information about ISO standards one should consult iso.org itself. For country codes, see <https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html> as as start. jaap * https://www.ripe.net/membership/member-support/list-of-members/list-of-country-codes-and-rirs/ -- To unsubscribe from this mailing list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options, please visit: https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/cooperation-wg
