==Domain History==
===.il===
ISOC-IL has managed the .il ccTLD since 1994.<ref>[https://ccnso.icann.org/en/about/members.htm ccNSO Member Profile - .il]</ref> As of March 2021, there were approximately 270,000 active registrations.<ref>[https://en.isoc.org.il/il-cctld/number-of-registered-domain-names ISOC-IL - Number of registered domains]</ref> Registration is available at the second level only, and certain requirements must be met to register a domain under a particular [[SLD]].<ref name="rules">[https://en.isoc.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/ISOC-IL_Registration_Rules_v1.8_ENGLISH_-_19.5.2020.pdf ISOC-IL - Registration Rules (PDF - English)]</ref>
===ישראל.===
In January of 2020, ISOC-IL applied for the [[IDN|internationalized]] domain string ישראל, or "Israel" in Hebrew script, using ICANN's IDN Fast Track process for [[ccTLD|ccTLDs]].<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/string-evaluation-completion-2014-02-19-en ICANN.org - IDN Fast Track String Evaluation]</ref> The application was approved in May 2020.<ref>[https://en.isoc.org.il/about/news-room/new-israeli-country-code-top-level-domain-cctld ISOC-IL - New Israeli ccTLD]</ref> ISOC-IL announced that as part of the transition to the IDN, registration of Hebrew domain names under the .il domain would be suspended "as part of an administrative and technological process by ISOC-IL to operate the Hebrew country code Top Level Domain for Israel in the future."<ref name="rules" /> IANA subsequently delegated the IDN to ISOC-IL in January 2021.<ref name="iana">[https://www.iana.org/reports/2021/israel-report-20210114.html IANA Redelegation Report - ישראל]</ref>
ISOC-IL intends for .il and ישראל. to share a unified name space. Each domain will be aliased to the other at no cost to existing registrants:
<blockquote>ISOC-IL believes that the Unified Name Space approach will best serve the interests of the local Internet community. In addition, it will save unnecessary expenses for the holders of existing Domain Names, since they will not be required to register these names separately in the Hebrew Top Level Domain.<ref>[https://en.isoc.org.il/il-cctld/faq-for-idn ISOC-IL - IDN FAQ]</ref></blockquote>
==Israeli Internet eXchange==
The Israeli Internet eXchange, or IIX, is maintained by ISOC-IL as a central switching router for Internet service providers in Israel.<ref name="iix" />
