مصر. is the IDN ccTLD for Egypt in the Arabic script. It is managed by the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority - NTRA.[1]

The domain "مصر" is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the 2003 IDNA specification as "xn--wgbh1c". The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0645 (Meem) U+0635 (Sad) U+0631 (Reh).

In Arabic language, the string has a meaning equivalent to "Egypt" in English. The string is expressed using Arabic script.

IANA transcribes to the Latin script as Misr,[2] however, ICANN transcribes it as Masr.[3]

Delegation History[edit | edit source]

In November 2009, an application was made to the "IDN Fast Track" process to have the string "مص" recognized as representing Egypt. Letters of support for the string were received from the Egyptian Information Telecommunication Electronics and Software Alliance, Nile University, TE Data, Linkdotnet, and the National Telecommunication Institute, an enterprise of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.

On January 6, 2010, a review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for string and declared variants associated with the application from Egypt (a) present none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS ... and (b) present an acceptably low risk of user confusion”. The request for the string to represent Egypt was subsequently approved.

On January 31, 2010, the National Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (NTRA) presented an application to ICANN for delegation of "مصر" as a top-level domain,[2] which was granted.[4]

Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]

Only governmental and educational entities in Egypt may register under .مصر.[5]
