They're called RFC's, look into them.

Err, the Cocos Islands entered into an agreement to allow a company to sell them. They didn't give them away, and they and other countries could also take them back, and/or you could wind up with another .pn scenario. In case you haven't noticed, some countries aren't that stable, if they seize your name(s) are you going to go there and sue them? And win? Speculating in ccTLD's is probably more iffy than speculating in .web. At any rate it doesn't seem to address any of ICANN's questions, though it may raise a new one about what ICANN might do about using ccTLDs in this way.
