• IANA approves .ps for Palestine. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority approved a request for a country-code top level domain for Palestine. This report[1] discusses the request’s history and disposition.

In early 1997, the IANA received a request for delegation of a top-level domain for Palestine. That request was initially declined, but was renewed in October 1999. This report gives the findings and conclusions of the IANA on its investigation of these requests.
