.الاردن is the IDN ccTLD for Jordan. It is managed by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE).[1]
The domain الاردن is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the 2003 IDNA specification as “xn--mgbayh7gpa”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0627 U+0644 U+0627 U+0631 U+062F U+0646.
In Arabic language, the string has a meaning equivalent to “Jordan” in English. Its pronunciation in English is transliterated as “al-Ordon”. The string is expressed using the Arabic script.[2]
Delegation History[edit | edit source]
In December 2009, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the string "الاردن" recognised as representing Jordan. The request was supported by the Minister of Information and Communication Technology.
On 21 April 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that “the applied-for string and declared variants associated with the application from Jordon (a) present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS ... and (b) present an acceptably low risk of user confusion”. The request for the string to represent Jordon was subsequently approved.
On 22 April 2010, the application to delegate “الاردن” as a top-level domain to NITC was received by ICANN. ICANN advised the applicant that supporting documentation was required to justify the delegation. On 26 April 2010, NTIC conducted a meeting to conduct a “community consultation session ... to choose the registry that will best lead Jordan’s IDN ccTLD initiative”. Subsequent to this meeting, the organisations in attendance signed form letters informing ICANN that they had reached consensus regarding NITC’s operation of the domain at a meeting in January 2010.[2] .الاردن was delegated in the same year.[3]
Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]
Please refer to the .jo page for the rules and restrictions. Considering characters, there is one important distinction from .jo: the domain name under .الاردن can contain Arabic letters and numbers (0-9) and the dash symbol "-", provided that it does not begin or end with a dash symbol.[4] Arabic and Latin script cannot be mixed.[5]
