The ISO 3166/MA changed it's way after the complains about re-assigning

This is not how it works. The UN doesn't ask for a specific code.
Specific codes are assigned by the MA.

The "User assigned codes" the draft-lewis-user-assigned-tlds-00
talks about are defined in the standard itself.  (The draft actually
quotes the standard). The standard itself is owned by the ISO/Technical
Committee 46/Workgroup 2 "Coding of country names and related
entities" and changes less frequent the ephermal part (the non user
assigned codes) is maintained by the ISO 3166/MA.  The MA cannot
change the standard.
