[dns-wg] retiring old ccTLDs

Max,

If you believe IANA should depart from historical and existing  
policies with regards to delegations and removals of two-letter top- 
level domains, I would suggest you initiate an ICANN policy  
development process within the appropriate supporting organization 
(s).  Until that time, IANA is pretty much constrained to follow  
existing policies despite the fact that some people might be making  
money registering names for a country that no longer exists.

Rgds,
