    Two letter TLDs are reserved for countries. No gTLDs use a two letter TLD.

    I guess in theory you could make a new country called “Input Output”, get ISO3166 to be updated to specify “IO” as your country’s two letter abbreviation, then request the IO TLD from IANA.

      According to the rules set by the org that controls the fate of IO. They can easily change the rules if they wanted. There is a vested interest in not losing IO, and nothing but their own rule to stop them. Who’s to tell them they can’t do whatever they want in this matter?
