well, apropos to point #2, the iso3166/ma includes representatives from
ten agencies, of which a certain 501(c)(3) originally in marina del rey,
now in los angeles, is included.

however, i can't imagine staff offering an opinion of record on the subject.

"ay" for "aye" would work for me.

Perhaps a dose of factual information may temper this thread.
If we are talking about ISO-3166-2 - the basis for the CCTLD delegations, then:

1_  Scotland has no say in the country code selected.
2_  ICANN has no say in the country code selected.
3_  The choice is up to an ISO committee.   

See:  http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes.htm

There are still at least 3 countries left in the UK if Scotland splits.

The name change is that in that event, Great Britain (.gb
country-code         Reserved Domain - IANA) will refer only to the land mass
(which it should any way, but if often used to refer to the three
kingdoms on it.
