IMHO There is a problem here of who does what.

The IANA most known table, to the point to be referred worldwide as "the 
IANA table" is the ccTLD table which documents the ICANN understanding of 
ISO 3166. Also, as I understand the MoU between IANA, IESG and ICANN this 
table is in the ICANN area of decision (and is quite influenced by GAC). 
Obviously ICANN is not going to wipe off or to create a country at whim. 
But there may be differences and delays. Let for example consider the EU 
case. Recently someone discussed the existence of European Greek vs. Greece 
and Cyprus Greeks. ICANN will give the possibility to document it: is that 
in line with your proposition. Pacific and Indian countries have asked 
similar extensions. What is the situation you want for PS?

At the end of the day we will most probably get the same situation.  But 
the WG-ltru is not the one in control or a second, linguistic, IANA version 
of ISO 3166 is to be created?

Another point to consider. An IETF WG is charter oriented. When the Charter 
is completed, it is closed. My understanding is that the IESG has approved 
this WG for two tasks and a short duration. It can obviously be renewed. 
But I think we should not assumed it to be permanent - at least at this 
stage and without a proper guidance from the IESG.
