Folks, Barangkali msh ada yg mau menyiapkan salam perpisahan ke ID-TT [.TP] Silakan. --------------------------------------- >X-Mailer: Novell GroupWise 4.1 >Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 13:37:23 +0100 >From: WISCHHOEFER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Indonesian subdivision names/code elements in ISO 3166-2 > -Antwort >X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by raptor.access.net.id id TAA21143 > >Dear Mr Purwady, > >Thank you for your e-mail of 23 February 1999 concerning the above. > >Severall things need to be explained. > >First: The country name for TP in ISO 3166-1 is East Timor. The code element is TP. Without the United Nations changing the name the ISO 3166/MA will NOT change the code element. > >Second: The code elements in ISO 3166-2 are only complete when they take the form "ID-XX". Using "XX" alone is nonsensical. > >Third: There is no relevant contradiction between using TP as an ISO 3166-1 country code and using ID-TT as an ISO 3166-2 subdivision code since these two standards identify different things. It should be noted that ISO 3166-1 codes country names but not the territory. > >Fourth: To our knowledge ISO 3166-2 has got nothing to do with IANAs or ICANNs DNS system. In fact our ISO 3166-1 country codes are used in the DNS. We are glad of that, but it does not mean that we need to change and add any name or code element if a user of the DNS does not like it or wants to see it changed. > >If technical problems with the DNS should arise it is IANAs job to solve them. However, the ISO 3166/MA will certainly give attention to concerns voiced by IANA if there are severe problems. > >Fifth: The term politically neutral has always been interpreted by the ISO 3166/MA to mean that we follow what the UN give as offcial names. Also it means that the ISO 3166/MA usually accepts the contributions of a national government or a national standards body as authoritative. > >It means that the ISO 3166/MA does not decide itself what is correct and what is not correct with regard to names. > >If you want any change in Indonesias subdivision list in ISO 3166-2 please contact the Indonesian standards body. > >For further information please do not hesitate to contact us. > >Yours sincerely > >Cord Wischh�fer >for the Secretariat of the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency >Tel.: +49/30/2601-2861 >Fax.: +49/30/2601-1231 >E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Teddy A.
