Equally DigitalSENSE Business News recalls that the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII ); which is a character-encoding scheme originally based on the English alphabet, and encodes 128 specified characters into 7-bit binary integers.

ICANN sources disclosed to DigitalSENSE Business News that such labels may not be activated in the Domain Name System (DNS) outside the Registry Operator, provided that such two-character label strings may be released to the extent that Registry Operator reaches agreement with the related government and country-code manager of the string as specified in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. 

DigitalSENSE Business News, further gathered that the Registry Operator may also propose the release of these reservations based on its implementation of measures to avoid confusion with the corresponding country codes, subject to approval by ICANN.
