".МОН" CYRILLIC DOMAIN ESPECIALLY FOR MONGOLIA USE WILL BE OPERATIONAL SOON

June 22 (InfoMongolia.com) On June 22, 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has officially announced that preparations for the .мон and .мн Mongolian Cyrillic domains have successfully been completed especially for Mongolia use.

The registration of the users of the domain will start soon. According to the official reports, Mongolia became the 30th country to request Multilanguage ccTLD (country code Top-Level Domain) and the 20th country to have its own IDN ccTLD (Internationalized country code Top-Level Domain).

As of today, there are only three Cyrillic domains used all around the globe, the Russian Federation - .рф, Serbia - .срб and Kazakhstan - .каз domains, although there is one Cyrillic domain script besides above three - Ukraine - .укр but it is not delegated yet.

ICANN is a nonprofit private organization headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States, that was incorporated on September 30, 1998 to oversee a number of Internet-related tasks previously performed directly on behalf of the U.S. government by other organizations, notably the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which ICANN now operates. ICANN is responsible for the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers and, in particular, ensuring its stable and secure operation.

IDN ccTLDs are specially encoded domain names that are displayed in an end user application, such as a web browser, in their language-native script or alphabet, such as the Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet.

Starting November 16, 2009, nations and territories could apply for IDN ccTLDs. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Russian Federation were among the first countries to apply for the new internationalized domain name country code toplevel domains.
