other certificates.<br>
<br>
Last year Kosovo deployed biometric passports (ICAO MRTD and EAC)
obviously for internal use only, and they choosed "KS" as the
alpha-2 country code.<br>
This country code is present in CSCA root certificate and in DS
certificates.<br>
<br>
"KS" is declared as free for assignment by ISO 3166/MA only.<br>
While they're practically free to use anything they want in their
private certificates, I don't recommend using "KS" for public
facing certificates.<br>
And I'm not in favor of allowing "XK" for EV certificates.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Nice question.<br>
<br>
XK being one of the "user-assigned code elements", it can
therefore be freely used wherever you want, and it won't be
used in any update of the standard.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/special-code-elements-iso-3166.htm#Reserved-code-elements">http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/special-code-elements-iso-3166.htm#Reserved-code-elements</a>
is pretty clear on the purpose and limits of the
user-assigned codes.<br>
Faced with such a request, I'd also tend to approve it,
publicly document the use of "XK" code to designate
"Kosovo", and notify the ISO-3166/MA of the use of this
code.<br>
<br>
EU hasn't recognized Kosovo as an independant nation, it's
strange that XK is used by the EC.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've come across an edge case that I'd
like to get some discussion on.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have received a request for a customer
in Kosovo, which the two jurisdictions to which we are
subject (US and UK) recognize as a sovereign country.
However because there is still some wrangling going on in
the UN, Kosovo does not at this time have an official ISO
3166 country code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I came across some information that the
European Commission, Switzerland, and the Deutsche
Bundesbank among others are temporarily using XK as a
designator for Kosovo. Any thought as to whether or not
doing the same in a certificate would be in compliance with
Section 9.2.5 of the BRs?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">9.2.5 Subject Country Name Field<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Certificate Field: subject:countryName
(OID: 2.5.4.6)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Required/Optional: Optional<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Contents: If the subject:countryName
field is present, then the CA SHALL verify the country
associated with the Subject in accordance with Section
11.2.5 and use its two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since XK is set aside by the ISO as user
assigned, I tend to lean toward allowing it, but I also
think that we should probably decide as a group so that we
all (at least all in jurisdictions which recognize Kosovo)
treat Kosovo in a uniform fashion. Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
