Delegation History[edit | edit source]
The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has been responsible for managing the .in ccTLD since 2005. A request to redelegate the .in domain to NIXI was completed in 2009.
In 2011, seven IDN ccTLDs representing India were delegated to NIXI.
Additional multi-stakeholder consultations and meetings were held in the following years by NIXI, MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology), and the Centre for Developent of Advance Computing (C-DAC).
On July 31, 2015, applications were submitted to ICANN’s “IDN Fast Track” process to have eight additional strings recognized as IDN ccTLDs representing India.
On January 8, 2016, a review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that the “ಭಾರತ”, “ഭാരതം”, “ভাৰত”, and “ଭାରତ” strings “present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in Module 4 of the Fast Track implementation plan, and present an acceptably low risk of user confusion."
On April 13, 2016 the “ಭಾರತ”, “ഭാരതം”, “ভাৰত”, and “ଭାରତ” strings successfully passed the Fast Track string evaluation.
On May 15, 2016, a review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that the “بارت”, “भारतम्”, and “भारोत” strings “present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in Module 4 of the Fast Track implementation plan, and present an acceptably low risk of user confusion."
On June 11, 2016, a review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that the “ڀارت” string “presents none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in Module 4 of the Fast Track implementation plan, and presents an acceptably low risk of user confusion."
On August 15, 2016, the “بارت”, “भारतम्”, “भारोत”, and “ڀارت” strings successfully passed the Fast Track string evaluation.
On May 11, 2017, NIXI commenced a request for delegation of the eight approved strings as top-level domains representing India in various languages, which was granted.[3]
