.мкд
.мкд is the IDN ccTLD for North Macedonia. It is managed by the Macedonian Academic Research Network Skopje (Marnet).[1]
The “мкд” string is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as “xn--d1alf”. The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+043C U+043A U+0434. The string transliterates to “mkd” in English. The string is expressed using the Cyrillic script.[2]
Delegation History[edit | edit source]
On 3 September 2013, Marnet applied for string .мкд to represent the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia through the 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.[2] In the same month, .мкд was registered by IANA.[1]
Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]
