RFC 1591 is one of the foundational documents of the Internet, particularly regarding the delegation of ccTLDs. It was drafted in 1994 by Jon Postel. The RFC lays out the core principles of IANA's delegation of domains to registries. It identifies the key criteria for reviewing a request for delegation. It also states that the IANA is "not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country." Postel adopted the ISO-3166-1 list of two-letter country codes as the canonical reference for what is considered a country, "with the knowledge that ISO has a procedure for determining which entities should be and should not be on that list."
