Antarctica (.aq) has a TLD simply because the UN added it to ISO3166-1 many years ago. It actually does have a few registrations and is administered on a free basis by an AUckland, NZ company.

I knew that David, but was stretching things slightly to make a point, that the ISO3166 is already bent out of shape. Historical reasons or no, while we shouldn't remove TLDs out of the root without a much better reason than just tidying things up, the crazyquilt ICANN inherited hasn't been made any better. With the inclusion of the continent .eu that point becomes more or less moot regardless. If ICANN wants to bend rules to include some entity they do, if ICANN wants to bend rules to exclude some entity they do, as they do with all other rules, promises, bylaws, RFCs, etc. I also already knew that it's not up to the ccNSO to decide on its membership criteria any more than it is up to me (an individual internet user) to decide on the ALAC membership criteria. At least the EU and therefore .eu gets to decide on theirs, redundant though that may be. None of this is anything to be proud of, we have all been frozen out (I still would like to believe the cc community won't suddenly line up to sign contracts to keep warm or we are surely doomed). -g
