In Ukrainian language, the string has a meaning equivalent to "ukr" in English. Its pronunciation in English is transliterated as "ukr". The string is expressed using the Cyrillic script.[2]
Delegation History edit
On 22 January 2004, the State Committee of Communication and Informatization of Ukraine and UANIC signed an agreement relating to the administration of address space in the Ukrainian segment of the Internet. According to this agreement, the Committee authorized UANIC to administer the "Ukrainian segment of the Internet", including internationalized domain names using Cyrillic script.
On 23 December 2010, UANIC applied for .укр as part of the "IDN Fast Track" process. Review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings ... present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in [the IDN Fast Track implementation plan] ... and present an acceptably low risk of user confusion". The request for the string to represent Ukraine was subsequently approved.
On 17 July 2012, UANIC commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of “укр” as a country-code top-level domain for Ukraine.[2] On 28 February 2013, the ICANN Board of Directors approved the request.[3]
