Technically, a ccTLD will be retired after the name of the corresponding country or territory has been removed from the ISO standard. The ccNSO developed a Policy for this.
US remains on the ISO list. There are a very small number of names on the ISO standard which are not delegated, usually because the Local Internet Community didn't want it (BQ), the Significantly Interested Parties didn't want it (UM), or the competing applicants could not sort it out among themselves (EH). greetings, el -- Sent from my iPhone On Dec 19, 2025 at 08:01 +0200, John R Levine <[email protected]>, wrote: > PS: > > > > [1] https://www.iana.org/help/cctld-retirement (not the ACTUAL policy > > but is more readable) > > > > That's the policy for country codes that don't exist any more, like when > .CS split into .CZ and .SK, or .TP turned into .TL.
