'''كوم.'''is one of 9 transliteration of [[.com]] that [[Verisign]] has applied for via [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. The company also applied for 3 transliterations of [[.net]].<ref>[http://idnblog.com/2012/06/13/com-transliterated-8-languages/ Com Transliterated 8 languages]</ref>

This particular application was criticized during the comment period of the new gTLD program given that no such "COM" word exists in Arabic and so Verisign is essentially inventing an Arabic word. The objection states that Verisign should not be given the TLD without approval of the Arabic Language Academy.<ref>[https://gtldcomment.icann.org/comments-feedback/applicationcomment/commentdetails/208 CommentDetails, gTLDComment.ICANN.org]</ref>
