ICANN : IDN ccTLD Request from Armenia Successfully Passes String Evaluation
ICANN : IDN ccTLD Request from Armenia Successfully Passes String Evaluation
ICANN is pleased to announce the successful completion of String
Evaluation on proposed IDN ccTLD string for Armenia.
Details of the successful evaluation are provided here:
http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/fast-track/string-evaluation-completion
The IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) ccTLD Fast Track Process was
approved by the ICANN Board at its annual meeting in Seoul, South
Korea on 30 October 2009. First requests were received starting 16
November 2009. The process enables countries and territories to submit
requests to ICANN for IDN ccTLDs, representing their respective
country or territory names in scripts other than Latin. IDN ccTLD
requesters must fulfill a number of requirements:
the script used to represent the IDN ccTLDs must be non-Latin;
the languages used to express the IDN ccTLDs must be official in
the corresponding country or territory; and
a specific set of technical requirements must be met (as evaluated
by an external DNS Stability Panel comprised of DNS and IDN experts).
The request and evaluation processes entail three steps:
Preparation (by the requester in the country / territory):
Community consensus is built for which IDN ccTLD to apply for, how it
is run, and which organization will be running it, along with
preparing and gathering all the required supporting documentation.
Requests are submitted through an online system together with
additional material supporting the process at
http://forms.icann.org/idn/apply.php
String Evaluation: Requests are evaluated in accordance with the
technical and linguistic requirements for the IDN ccTLD string(s)
criteria described above.
String Delegation: Requests successfully meeting string evaluation
criteria are eligible to apply for delegation following the same ICANN
IANA process as is used for ASCII based ccTLDs. Requesters submit
string delegation requests to IANA root zone management:

With this announcement, a total of 35 countries/territories requests
have successfully passed through the String Evaluation. Of these, 28
countries/territories (represented by 38 IDN ccTLDs) are delegated in
the DNS root zone; with the remainder either readying to apply, or
actively applying for, delegation of the string. Up-to-date numbers
about the IDN Fast Track Program will continue to be provided on the
Fast Track Process web page at
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/fast-track-2012-02-25-en.
ICANN looks forward to enabling the availability of non-Latin
country-code domains for countries that meet the Fast Track Process
requirements. ICANN will continue to accept new string evaluation
requests in the Fast Track Process. Staff support is available to help
all countries and territories interested in participating in the Fast
Track Process. Please email [email protected] This email
