== Delegation History ==
On 3 September 2013, Marnet applied for string .мкд to represent the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia through the [[IDN Fast Track|IDN ccTLD Fast Track]] process.
On 14 April 2014, 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 Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was subsequently approved.
In April 2014, Marnet commenced a request to ICANN delegation of the .мкд top-level domain, and also the redelegation of the ASCII ccTLD, [[.mk]].<ref name="iana"></ref> In the same month, .мкд was registered by IANA.<ref name="del"></ref>
== Rules and Restrictions ==
