المغرب. is the IDN ccTLD for Morocco. It is managed by the Agence Nationale de Réglementation des Télécommunications (ANRT).[1]
The domain at the DNS root level is “المغرب”. This is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--mgbc0a9azcg”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0627 U+0644 U+0645 U+063A U+0631 U+0628.
In Arabic language, the string has a meaning equivalent to “Morocco” in English. Its pronunciation in English is transliterated as “al-Maghrib”. The string is expressed using the Arabic script.[2]
Delegation History[edit | edit source]
On 10 December 2007, ANRT, the organisation which also manages the country's ASCII ccTLD, .ma, joined the “Arabic domain names pilot project” during which “some experimental Arabic domain names under “المغرب” were created and tested”. The participation in this project allowed ANRT “to gain a good practical experience related to IDN domain names”.
On 8 September 2010 an application was made to the “IDN Fast Track” process to have the string “المغرب” recognised as representing Morocco. On 23 October 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings ... present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in [the IDN Fast Track implementation plan] ... and present an acceptably low risk of user confusion". The request for the string to represent the Morocco was subsequently approved.
On 31 December 2010, the ANRT commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of “المغرب” as a top-level domain.[2] The TLD was registered by IANA on 5 February, 2011.[1]
Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]
The registry website for both .ma and المغرب. has the following message: "The terms and conditions of the administrative, technical and commercial management of « المغرب. » Domain Names will soon be set by ANRT."[3]
