This is also recognized in the Tunis Agenda:

  63. Countries should not be involved in decisions regarding another
  country’s country-code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD). Their legitimate
  interests, as expressed and defined by each country, in diverse ways,
  regarding decisions affecting their ccTLDs, need to be respected,
  upheld and addressed via a flexible and improved framework and
  mechanisms.

Greetings,
Norbert
