The .aeDA was established in 2007 by TDRA as a department. It is the Regulatory Body and Registry Operator for the .ae country code namespace and ".امارات" (dotEmarat) the Arabic domain name.

The .aeDA is responsible for the setting and enforcement of all policies with regard to the operation of the .ae country code top-level domain (ccTLD) and ".امارات" as well as overseeing the operation of the Registry System.[1]

Re-delegation of .ae[edit | edit source]

The .AE domain was originally delegated to UUNET. Recognizing the domain should be administered in the country, the domain was transferred in 1995 to Etisalat, following a brief period of administration by the United Arab Emirates University. Since that time, Etisalat, through its division the UAE Network Information Center (UAEnic), has been responsible for the operation of the .ae domain.

During GITEX 2006, TDRA announced that the .ae ccTLD management and operations will be re-delegated to TDRA from Etisalat/UAEnic, the current .ae ccTLD manager. A new entity called .ae Domain Administration (.aeDA) has been formed to take care of management and operations of .ae based on latest DNS and Domain Registry technologies. During January 2008, IANA officially re-delegated the .ae Domain to the TDRA.
