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.<ref name="iana">[https://www.iana.org/reports/2011/morocco-report-20110401.html Delegation of the المغرب. (“al-Maghrib”) domain representing Morocco in Arabic]</ref>

== Delegation History ==

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.<ref name="iana"></ref> The TLD was registered by IANA on 5 February, 2011.<ref name="del"></ref>

== Rules and Restrictions ==

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."<ref>[https://www.registre.ma/language/en/e-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%ba%d8%b1%d8%a8 .ma: المغرب.]</ref>
