RE: OFF TOPIC - East Timor ccTLD servers attacked

["Teddy A. Purwadi" <sekjen@apjii.or.id>]

My thougt, that it is in common to have new ccTLD
on behaf of *nation* or *country* from IANA at that time.
Since East Timor is not a country, and IANA agreed to ISO 
Standard Name and Country Code [RFC#], so, dot tp is not
longer to live, until it is declared as a country by UN. 

Its better to ask *iana* for this.

cheers,
