More information:

.онлайн is an IDN gTLD being proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is CORE,[1] which has applied for 3 TLDs, all of which are IDNs.

Background edit

Excerpted from Applicant response to Question #18:

"The purpose of .онлайн is to be a common and widely used TLD, oriented towards registrants and Internet users which write in the Cyrillic alphabet. The word “онлайн” means “online”, a term widely used by all Internet users of the Cyrillic alphabet in Belarus, Bulgaria, Russia and Ukraine, while being also easily recognizable by the population of other neighboring Balkan and Baltic countries that use and⁄or are familiar with Cyrillic-script languages." .. "Registrations under the .онлайн TLD are available for registration in Cyrillic string only, according to the rules and IDN Table provided in Q44 below, and subject to bona-fide use of the .онлайн TLD, and subject to the further requirement that the registrant’s use of the registered domain name, must be:

- generally accepted as legitimate; and, - commensurate with the role and importance of the registered domain name."[2]

Contract Signed edit

On 14 July 2013, CORE received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN for . онлайн after passing the Initial Evaluation.[3] It was one of the first 4 contracts to be signed as part of the New gTLD Program[4]
