What Is the History of .nowruz?
The .nowruz domain was delegated to CoCCA on December 5, 2015, following a successful application by Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. (AGITSys). It was developed as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program to provide an online cultural hub for Nowruz, a 3,000-year-old celebration marking the Persian New Year. Although AGITSys was the original applicant, ICANN's Emergency Back-End Registry Operator Program is currently managing the domain. The TLD reflects global cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO and the United Nations, which designated March 21 as the International Day of Nowruz in 2010.
