In the end i dont care, Kosovo is a country (acknowledged by 50%+ of UN members including NL) and i want to be able to use it as intended. — William Sent from my iPhone > On 13.05.2022, at 21:58, David Conrad <drc at virtualized.org> wrote: > > William, > >> On May 13, 2022, at 2:11 AM, William Weber via db-wg <db-wg at ripe.net> wrote: >> >> I am aware the the X* series of codes is reserved and not permanently assigned, however UN Security Council resolution 1244/99 (see 6) mandates the use binding to all UN members. >> > > The “X*” series is not reserved, they are (permanently) designated for “user-assigned” use. Think 10/8. Anyone (including RIPE) can use them for whatever purpose they so choose, just as anyone can use 10/8. Of course, your use and my use might conflict, but that’s for us to work out between us (with the obvious scaling implications that suggests). > > FYI, EU is different in that it is “exceptionally reserved”. It is one of a number of ISO-3166 codes that have that status (including UK, AC, DG, SU, and a few others). AP is a bit weird (IMHO) in that ISO-3166 Maintenance Agency has stated that they will not use the code “at the present stage.” I gather that’s an informal agreement between ISO-3166/MA and WIPO. I’ve no clue what that means for the long-term status of that code. > > The real question is what would break if RIPE chooses to use a user assigned code in their database. I’ve no idea, but to be honest, I’m a bit uncomfortable with the precedent it might set (and political foodfight it might generate given the UN Statistical Agency hasn’t seen fit to recommend the creation of an actual ISO-3166 code). However, I doubt my comfort matters. > > As far as I can tell, your reference to UN Security Council resolution 1244/99 is irrelevant, particularly as it (appropriately, given the status of the ISO-3166 code) doesn’t mention XK. > > FWIW, Jaap Akkerhuis, a person well known to many on this list, is extremely well-versed in the world of ISO-3166 and could probably provide any info you might need related to the use of ISO-3166 codes. > > Regards, > -drc > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
