== History ==
In November 2009, an application was made to the new “[[IDN Fast Track]]” process to have the string “香港” recognised as representing Hong Kong. The Governments of Hong Kong supported the application, along with linguistic analysis by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong. Community support for the string was derived from the applicant’s “Consultative and Advisory Panel” comprised of diverse stakeholders tasked with advising the applicant.
On 1 March 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track [[DNS Stability Panel]] found that applied-for string for Hong Kong “presents none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS ... and (b) presents an acceptably low risk of user confusion”. The request for the string to represent Hong Kong was subsequently approved.
On 14 April 2010, Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation presented an application to [[ICANN]] for delegation of “香港” as a top-level domain.<ref>[https://www.iana.org/reports/2010/hongkong-report-07jun2010.html Delegation of the .香港 (“Hong Kong”) domain representing Hong Kong in Chinese to Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited]</ref>
