More information:

.persiangulf is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti.[1]

Objection[edit | edit source]

Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD during the public comment period.[2]

The application was issued a single GAC Early Warning jointly submitted by the governments of Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and UAE; the warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied. The warning notes that there is a lack of community involvement and support and that the applicant is trying to standardize and use a term for the body of water that is not used by the countries bordering the gulf, that is, they officially recognize it as being named the "Arabian Gulf".[3]
