[discuss] IANA missing information

[Carlos A. Afonso]

One step that should be fixed in the IANA table:

1. I click on the IDN label of a country code.

2. The Delegation Record page opens with a "ISO link for decoding the
two-letter codes".

3. I click on the link and a ISO page opens saying I can check the ISO
code if I cough up CHF300, which is more than US$300! What is wrong with
these guys??

This is not good. 3166-1 table is a simple linear, basically static text
list of country codes, why would anyone have to pay to look at it?

Hope this can be fixed.

fraternal regards
