My favorite youtuber has just pointed out that Bougainville will separate formally from Papua New Guinea in 2027, which, surprisingly, is only 5 or 6 years from now. So I looked up .bv, and of course... it's assigned to Bouvet Island, an uninhabited island whose political superior says anything that might go in that TLD will go in .no instead. [Wikipedia] So, what's the actual status of .bv? Assigned, or reserved? And if it is reserved at the 3166 secretariat level, can they reassign it? NORID might try to make a case that BV is the common corporate abbreviation in their political subdivision... but they're not selling those domains now, so that doesn't seem compelling. Anyone here got a buddy on the secretariat? :-) Cheers, -- jra
All handling of ccTLDs are handled via the ccNSO of ICANN: https://ccnso.icann.org/enFor example ccTLD retirement is a multi-year and perhaps multi-decade process:
