[cooperation-wg] Discuss ISO-3166 mark TAIWAN as a Provinces of China on the RIPE NCC website

Hi Jaap,

ISO 3166-2 focuses on codes for country subdivisions, and it also
encompasses 'Country names'. The RIPE NCC website, however, does not
reference ISO 3166-2 explicitly; it only mentions ISO 3166. This suggests
that they utilize a subset of ISO 3166, which likely includes parts 1, 2,
and 3 of the standard.

I have also asked the RIPE NCC staff, they only mention that RIPE NCC has
implemented the ISO 3166.

My apologies if I did not clearly explain before.

Thank you.

Best,
Tsung-Yi Yu
