Delegation History[edit | edit source]
In May 2010, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the string “한국” recognized as representing the Republic of Korea. The request was supported by the Korea Communications Commission, and supported by the outcome of a consultation process conducted with various Internet community groups.
On 16 June 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings associated with the applications from [the Republic of Korea] (a) present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS ... and (b) present an acceptable low risk of user confusion". The request for the string to represent the Republic of Korea was subsequently approved.
On 30 September 2010, KISA commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of ".한국" as a top-level domain.[2] The .한국 domain was approved through the IDN Fast Track process,[3] and delegated to KRNIC in 2011.[2]
