Dear RDAP gurus,

I am struggling a bit with understanding how to represent the country in RDAP.

So far I found:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6350#section-6.3.1
(vCard Format Specification)

'overruled'/extended by:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8605#section-3
(ICANN Extensions for RDAP)

Then there is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9083#name-common-data-types (JSON Responses for RDAP) referring to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259 (The JSON Data Interchange Format).

All suggesting to use the alpha-2 ISO-3166 country code abbreviation. This is also what I see in the wild; no full country names.

But it's not clear to me if the alpha-2 country code needs to be in the CC parameter [RFC8605], or if it also allowed in the country name [RFC6350, section 3] or perhaps it doesn't matter ?

I see both in the wild:

In the CC parameter:
https://rdap.centralnic.com/frl/domain/nic.frl
https://rdap.publicinterestregistry.org/rdap/domain/nic.org

In the country name text:
https://rdap.sidn.nl/domain/nic.nl
https://rdap.nic.fr/domain/nic.fr
https://rdap.registro.br/domain/nic.br
https://rdap.kiwi.fury.ca/rdap/domain/nic.kiwi

https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-operators/rdap-response-profile-21feb24-en.pdf (1.4) says the country name must be empty.

So I'm a bit lost here and I'd appreciate if anyone could enlighten me.

Thanks!
