Delegation History[edit | edit source]
In December 2009, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the string "فلسطين" recognised as representing Palestine. The request was supported by Palestinian Minister of Telecom and Information Technology, with additional community support from The Islamic University of Gaza, the Palestinian Information and Communication Technologies Association, the Palestine Chapter of the Internet Society, and the Palestinian IT Association of Companies.
On March 1, 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for string associated with the application from [the Occupied Palestinian Territory] (a) present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS ... and (b) present an acceptable low risk of user confusion". The request for the string was subsequently approved.[2]
