.bar is a delegated TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program.[1] This string, applied for by two applicants as a generic application, was deemed a Geographic TLD by ICANN's Geographic Names Panel, referring to a commune in Montenegro. Geo TLDs must have government support in order to pass evaluation and proceed towards delegation.[2] The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the Root Zone on 27 February 2014.[3]
