.om is the ccTLD for Oman. It is managed by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA).[1]
Delegation History[edit | edit source]
The .om top-level domain was initially delegated in 1996 to the General Telecommunications Organization of Oman. The organisation was renamed to Oman Telecommunications Company (Omantel).
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) was formed in 2002. The TRA was created to regulate the establishment, operation and maintenance of telecommunications services in Oman. The mandate of the TRA was extended by Royal Decree No. 64/2007 to "organize, allocate and manage the domain names to access the world wide web."
In April 2011, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Oman presented an application to ICANN for redelegation of the .om top-level domain,[2] which was granted on August 05, 2011.[3]
