The Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) is the registry manager for Kuwait's .kw ccTLD.[1] The agency's Domains Management Section is responsible for registry operations.[2] CITRA joined the ccNSO in 2018.[3][4]

CITRA's bylaws and registration rules anticipate an internationalized version of Kuwait's ccTLD, but currently there does not appear to be a process underway to obtain approval for an Arabic string. [5] [6] String evaluations that have passed through the Fast Track process are listed on ICANN.org. Evaluation progress is not generally publicized, but it is notable that the most recent English versions of CITRA's policy documents are dated from 2016. Had an IDN Fast Track application been submitted on or around that time, it would likely have been resolved well before now.
