What is an IDN ccTLD?
An IDN ccTLD is a top-level domain designated for use by a country or territory Internet community and expressed in letters other than those of the basic Latin alphabet (i.e., as an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN)). ICANN’s Fast Track Process will allow IDNs to be used for Internet extensions representing a country or territory name. The new development is that instead of a two-letter country code in Latin characters, the IDN ccTLD can use characters from the country or territory’s official language, i.e. “.countryname”.
