I don't see how relying on ISO's advice is poaching. They say:
You, like Ted, are ignoring the fact that ISO can choose to change those

The user assigned codes are part of the published ISO 3166 standard. If
that's not stable enough, neither is any ccTLD. What if they decided to
swap .US and .SU? Jaap assured us they're not going to change, and he
should know.
ICANN has already said that it's not going to ever delegate CORP, HOME,
or MAIL.
They said indefinitely defer which is not the same thing at all.
Ok, so if you think there is a risk here, then it should be mitigated by
working together with ICANN ...
The politics about this at ICANN are hopeless. There are still six
applications for corp, home, and mail who would object loudly if ICANN
said they were permanently unavailable and who torpedoed Lyman Chapin's
proposal to add them to the 6761 list. Fighting that is not a good use of
anyone's time.
