.СРБ
.СРБ is the IDN ccTLD for Serbia. It is managed by the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry (RNIDS).[1]
The domain "СРБ" is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--90a3ac”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0441 U+0440 U+0431.
In Serbian language, the string is an abbreviation of Serbia, with a transliteration and pronunciation in English as “srb”. The string is expressed using the Cyrillic script.[2]
Delegation History edit
Approximately three years after successfully applying for the .rs delegation )and also the redelegation of the subsequently retired .yu ccTLD for Yugoslavia), RNIDS announced the official beginning of the public discussion on selecting the national Cyrillic domain on 15 March 2010. Several public forums were opened among other activities. After proposals were collected and evaluated, final voting results showed that "СРБ" string received the most support.
On 1 September 2010, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the string recognised as representing Serbia. 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 Serbia was subsequently approved.
On 9 February 2011, the RNIDS commenced a request to ICANN for delegation of "СРБ" as a top-level domain, which was granted.[2] After the Russian .РФ domain, it was the second Cyrillic Internet domain in the world to be opened for registrations, beginning on 27 January 2012.[3]
