	Country code top-level domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is a top-level domain used and reserved for a country or a dependent territory.
		Some countries allow anyone in the world to acquire a domain in their ccTLD, for example Austria (at) and Cocos (Keeling) Islands (cc).
		(Ascension Island): This code is a vestige of IANA's decision in 1996 to allow the use of codes reserved in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 reserve list for use by the Universal Postal Union.

	Protecting Domain Name Assets
		In all non-U.S. countries, Internet addresses must additionally contain a country code suffix, such as.uk for Britain or.fr for France, identifying the specific country registry in which the IP address is located.
		Each generic and country code TLD registry is headed by an administrator who keeps track of all domain names listed in that registry.
		Despite the introduction of new generic and country code TLDs, business and trademark owners appear to be less ready to defensively register every conceivable variation or misspelling, and less ready to register their marks in every available domain to prevent potential infringements.

		Apart from the prefix www an internet domain name consists of two parts, the top level domain (or tld), such as.com,.nl,.it, and the second level domain, which consists of the actual chosen name of the registrant.
		Country code TLD's, such as.nl,.it, can only be registered by inhabitants of the country of origin.
		For technical reasons it is not possible for there to be more than one second level domain for each top level domain, so, for instance, there can only be one Kernkamp.nl.

		Once a domain is registered in any particular country, others are inhibited from using that domain name in that country.
		All of these instances could have been prevented had the companies registered their domain names in the country code domains.
		Consequently, in these country domains where local presence, tax ID number, or proof of registered trademark is not required, a company's brand name / trademark is highly vulnerable.

	TLD Names - ISOC Member Briefing #18
		Even among countries with only one official language, there might be considerable pressure to create domains in the languages of large minority groups, pressure that would be hard to resist if we retain our focus on the users and their needs.
		Once that were permitted, even countries whose official names are normally written in Roman characters and whose ISO 3166-1 codes are obvious abbreviations for those names would undoubtedly find it desirable, and fair, to acquire at least an additional TLD based on a complete spelling or abbreviation of the country name.
		It should be obvious by this point that permitting users to reference TLDs in their own scripts, or in the same script used for the associated second or third level domains, by installing non-ASCII synonymous TLDs would cause significant difficulties.
