The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced the successful completion of string evaluation of the proposed internationalised domain name (IDN) country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Israel – ישראל. Proposed by the Israel Internet Association – the existing ccTLD manager – the string is now pending delegation into the domain name system (DNS) root zone. Until May 2020, 62 string requests for a total of 43 countries/territories have successfully passed through the string evaluation, as part of ICANN’s IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process.
