two letter domain names and GAC

[Seun Ojedeji]

Interesting that this is generalised as "pronounce" but it seem to me that
they are specific on the respective 2 letter (and 3 letters) country codes,
and one may argue that there seem to be a logic to that regard.

Will be interesting to see how it goes.
