No opinion. In principle "yes", unless there is a good reason (expecially=
technical) for not doing so. Everything should be allowd unless there is =
a
sound reason for not doing so....
> 2a) Should two letter country codes be allowed as SLD ? - Yes (93%)
Add another "yes". As the ISO3166 list is continously expanding, this wou=

amount to reserve ALL two-letter SLDs. =
> 2b) Should the country have priority in an ACP ? - No (64%)
No prority, but it could be given consideration for especially damageable=
uses
of such SLDs, or when the owner pretends to be the offical rep`resentatio=

such country. Thos means allowing, under these especial circumstances, th=

Yes.

I don't believe that 3dLD shpuld exist under the current set of gTLDs. So=
its
a "no". But I don=A1t exlcude that in the future there would be certain
"strucutred" gTLDS.
> 4) Maximum length of domains 63 (70%)
Only technical limitations make sense.
