2b: 2-letter country/territory codes at the second level

This remains an issue of concern to some, but not all, GAC members.

The GAC was briefed by ICANN Org (Global Domains Division) on existing measures to enable governments to access information on relevant applications and associated complaints procedures; and on possible enhancements to these measures to further assist governments. Several GAC members sought a user-friendly space on the ICANN website that makes it clear what is happening with a particular code in the DNS market and how governments can communicate concerns.
