See other thread on this subject with Fiji order attached to OP. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
I thought the law for Fiji was no change unless announced by Cabinet, but there is no such publication on the Fiji site.... yet... Previous announcements were made under http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases.aspx e.g. https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ua... https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ua... Don't doubt that IATA got something from somewhere.... And if IATA publishes, we ourselves will follow.... On 21 August 2017 at 20:43, Magnus Bengtsson <Magnus.Bengtsson@jeppesen.com> wrote:

Our data for Fiji's future was guesswork, as the rules are ad hoc and vary from year to year. The order from Usamate that Dominic Fok forwarded to us in <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2017-August/025233.html> appears to be more authoritative than our previous guesswork, which is why we changed. If it's countermanded by something even more authoritative, of course we'll need to change again. It would be good to know whether Usamate's order is the final word.
