تونس.
تونس. is the IDN ccTLD for Tunisia. It is managed by the Agence Tunisienne d'Internet.[1]
The domain “تونس” is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the 2003 IDNA specification as “xn--pgbs0dh”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+062A U+0648 U+0646 U+0633.
In Arabic language, the string has a meaning equivalent to “Tunisia” in English. Its pronunciation in English is transliterated as “Tunis”. The string is expressed using the Arabic script.[2]
Delegation History edit
In December 2009, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the string "تونس" recognised as representing Tunisia. The request was supported by Government of Tunisia, with additional community support provided.
On 1 March 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings associated with the applications from [Tunisia] (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 Tunisia was subsequently approved.
On May 20 2010, Agence Tunisienne d’Internet, the manager for Tunisia's ASCII ccTLD (.tn), presented an application to ICANN for delegation of “تونس” as a top-level domain, which was granted.[2]
