Standard Management Non-Core Codelist Amendments
#1

I’ve sent the following pull request: https://github.com/IATI/IATI-Codelists-NonEmbedded/pull/274

This updates the Country codelist to use lower case short names instead of upper case short names. Some more details in this github issue.

/cc @IATI-techteam.

Dear Andy,

Are you saying that the standard is going to change from using the 2-digit to the 3-digit ISO codes for countries? Or will it be an additional options?

Kind Regards,
Michelle

@Michelle_IOM There are no changes to the ISO codes. IATI is still using the 2-digit ISO 3166 codes. @andylolz has submitted a request to change the country names from upper case to lower case for consistency with other IATI codelists. For instance, changing the country name from ‘AFGHANISTAN’ to ‘Afghanistan’.

Dear Petya,

Whew. As we use an SAP delivered table to generate our country code list I was really hoping we weren’t going to run into an issue where we might need to maintain a new table in the system.

Thanks for the clarification.

Kind Regards,
Michelle
