.հայ is the IDN ccTLD for Armenia. It is managed by "Internet Society" Non-governmental Organization.[1] The official registry is AM NIC.[2]

The domain .հայ is represented in ASCII-compatible encoding according to the IDNA specification as "xn--y9a3aq". The individual Unicode code points that comprise this string are U+0570 U+0561 U+0575.

The string is expressed using the Armenian script, and has a transliteration equivalent to to "hye" in the Latin script.[3]

Delegation History[edit | edit source]

In August 2013, the Internet Society of Armenia informed its members that the Council of the Internet Society of Armenia made a decision to apply to ICANN for the IDN ccTLD string for Armenia and invited its members to submit comments and views on the matter.

In September 2013 the Internet Society of Armenia, manager of Armenia's ASCII ccTLD, .am, published a report on the decision to initiate the application process for the .հայ IDN ccTLD.

On April 1, 2014, the Internet Society of Armenia applied for the string .հայ through the IDN ccTLD Fast Track process to represent Armenia in Armenian script. On November 20, 2014, review by the IDN Fast Track DNS Stability Panel found that "the applied-for string ... presents none of the threats to the stability or security of the DNS identified in [the IDN Fast Track implementation plan] ... and presents an acceptably low risk of user confusion". The request for the string to represent Armenia was subsequently approved. In December 2014, the Internet Society of Armenia commenced a request to ICANN for the delegation of the .հայ top-level domain.[3]

The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the Root Zone on May 7, 2015.[4]
