-  <h2>Policy</h2>
-
-  <p>When listing countries or other geographic areas in
-    documentation, menus, mirror/FTP lists, or other contexts, it is
-    important to introduce such lists as "Countries or Regions" so that
-    an implied sovereignty claim is neither made nor denied to those
-    regions which have their own top level domains.</p>
-
-  <p>The ISO 3166 country codes do not necessarily refer to
-    nation-states (e.g. Hong Kong) and should not be treated as such.
-    Likewise the "official" ISO 3166 short English names for those
-    countries and regions which have top level domains are in some cases
-    controversial, and not all of them are commonly used in the software
-    industry.</p>
-
-  <p>We follow the guidelines used by IBM, Microsoft, Google, and
-    other prominent software companies in their documentation in that
-    Taiwan should never be included with a distinction referring to the
-    Republic of China, People's Republic of China, or a national flag.
-    Interpretation of the word "Taiwan" is in the eye of the beholder,
-    and The FreeBSD Project does not endorse any particular position.</p>

+      <h2>Policy</h2>
+      <p>The FreeBSD Project uses ISO 3166 country codes in
+	software included in the release distributions and the
+	official website to describe geographical regions in the
+	world.</p>
