The domain .عمان is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--mgb9awbf”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0639 U+0645 U+0627 U+0646.
In Arabic language, the string has a meaning equivalent and pronunciation to “Oman” in English. The string is expressed using the Arabic script.
== Delegation History ==
In 2002, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) was established “to regulate the Telecommunication Sector within the Sultanate of Oman”.
In 2007, the Royal Decree No. 64/2007 was issued to update the Telecommunications Regulatory Act. The applicants state that the "responsibility for the عمان. (.oman) IDN ccTLD falls under the TRA’s jurisdiction"
On 24 August 2010, an application was made to the “[[IDN Fast Track]]” process to have the string “عمان” recognised as representing Oman.
On 4 October 2010, 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 Oman was subsequently approved.
On 7 February 2012, TRA commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of .عمان as a TLD, which was granted.
