Delegation History
[edit | edit source]In May 2010, applications were made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have seven strings in different scripts recognised as representing India.
On September 1, 2010, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for strings associated with the applications from [tIndia] (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 the Republic of Korea was subsequently approved.
On September 30, 2010, the National Internet Exchange of India commenced requests to ICANN for delegation of the various strings at top-level domains, which were granted.[3]
