28 August 2012
The Kazakhstani Association of IT Companies has obtained the Cyrillic domain name .қаз, the association said in Almaty.
“ICANN informed us on February 10 that on the board of directors of the ICANN corporation the domain name .қаз has been approved. We are waiting for further procedures,” said head of the association, Nurlan Isin. The news was reported by KazTAG, an international information agency run by Kazakhstan’s Culture and Information Ministry.
“Cyrillic, one of the most used alphabets in the internet and the emergence of another domain that uses the Cyrillic, is extremely useful for development of the global network,” director of the coordination center for TLD RU, Andrei Kolesnikov said. TLD RU coordinates the .рф top level domain in the Russian Federation.
