Bulgarian top-level domain soon in Cyrillic available

Many things have certainly changed since the 36th ICANN’s summit, on October 30th! Few weeks ago, we announced here the new possibility to register domain names in non-Latin characters, for countries using a different alphabet. Well now, this becomes also possible for top-level domains.

As a matter of fact, the Bulgarian register doesn’t waste any time and has launched on its website a discussion about Bulgaria’s own internationalized top-level domain. They ask Internet users for their opinion about several points:

- Firstly, they want to define the two-character combination that would be most appropriate for the country. As Bulgaria is concerned, we’re dealing here with Cyrillic Alphabet.
- Secondly, the register wants to know which sponsoring organization would be best to present the new Bulgarian internationalized top-level domain.
- Lastly, once those two major points are clarified, the chosen extension and sponsors will be presented to the ICANN.

Finally, that is a very good initiative from the Bulgarian register: by asking the opinion of its users, they know for sure that they will satisfy the majority of them. And as this possibility to register top-level domains is open to all countries, many of them could be inspired by Bulgaria’s great way of operating.
