Serbian: .срб (romanized as .srb; abbreviation of Serbian: '''Срб'''ија/Serbian: '''Srb'''ija) is the Internationalised (Cyrillic) Internet country code top-level domain (IDN ccTLD) for Serbia. It has been active since May 3, 2011 while the process of registering has started on 27 January 2012.[1]
The Serbian National Internet Domain Registry (RNIDS) has initiated on its forum (www.forum.rnids.rs) a public discussion on the Proposal of rules and processes for registering the Cyrillic domain "Serbian: .срб".
The Proposal of rules and processes for registering the Cyrillic domain "Serbian: .срб" is available on the forum of RNIDS. It regulates the registration of the sub-domain "Serbian: .срб" and the reservation of other domains for the needs of RNIDS, the reservation of the "Serbian: .срб" domain for the needs of the state, the reservation of the "Serbian: .срб" domain based on the current .rs domain names and the allocation of the unique code to each and every reserved "Serbian: .срб" domain.
The Rule book also determines the period for assigning the "Serbian: .срб" domain according to the priority right, after which the period of free registration of the "Serbian: .срб" domain will commence, based on the same or similar rules now applicable for the .rs domain.
"Serbian: .срб" has, in many fonts, a very similar appearance to the Latin alphanumeric .cp6, which is not registered as a TLD. Similarly proposed TLDs .бг (for Bulgaria) and .ελ (for the Greece) have been rejected or stalled because of this problem, but "Serbian: .срб" has not. The general policy for internationalized TLDs is to require at least one of the letters in a TLD to not resemble a Latin letter; 6 is a numeric digit (not a Latin letter) and is not used in any TLDs. Furthermore, though б appears similar to a 6 in most Cyrillic alphabets, it does not in Serbian, where it more closely resembles Greek lowercase delta (δ), see the relevant section in the article on the letter Serbian: б.
