Similar ideas where held for MD and TM but didn'y seem to work
out. Furthermore, an indepent Bougainville mighs change the name
to something else (as Zimbabwe did).

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for your email, brother.

It's, imho, exactly the right compromise to do.

...still available ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 codes: bc, bk, bp

and: vb

All those names are not yet delegated zones within

the DNS; therefore they are all available to be used

as ccTLD: .bc ? .bk ? .bp ? .vb ?

...bougainvilleans [1] should just pick one to start

the processes of securing both Alpha-2 & ccTLD.

Shalom,

--sb.

jaap

Best Regards !
