[Internal-cg] "Country" field

[Russ Housley]

I can live with this, but I would prefer the label on the field to be "ISO 3166 Country Code", as that is the term used by ISO.  See http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes

I would not like to create even more work for the secretariat by having to analyze a free-form field and decide whether two entires are the same country or not. So I hope we can find a different compromise.

I am aware that the lists can be erratic (including missing off the Channel Islands, for example).
