Thanks to everyone for their input on this. It's clear that none of the options available to us here is without any problems. So, after discussions with Mozilla legal, we've decided that we will work towards standardizing Mozilla's websites on using the GENC list[0]. The GENC list is based on ISO3166 but modified by the US Government for their purposes. As it so happens, it makes what seem to us like a very sensible set of changes. Of particular relevance to this thread, it adds an entry for Kosovo, but it also makes other changes which seem sensible, such as calling Taiwan "Taiwan". I will be contacting the relevant responsible people over the next little while to encourage them to move their sites across to using this data source. If you know of places where Mozilla is using a list of countries on a website, please let me know by email. If you can see some massive objection to this course of action, other than "it's from the US Government", then please also let me know. Otherwise, thanks to everyone for their participation in the discussion. Gerv [0] https://nsgreg.nga.mil/doc/view?i=2500 is the latest version, version 3.0 - although unfortunately this website requires a security exception in all Firefoxes and Chromes due to its cert chaining to the untrusted DOD root, and also won't work in Nightly or Developer Edition because their server is officially busted and won't negotiate anything other than RC4 even though it advertises it. <shrug> _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
