Domain rules

Like any registrar, CITRI requires acceptance of its terms and rules for domain registration, and our code of practice is modelled upon the accepted best practice model from Nominet, the .UK registrar.

Reserved domains of .CO, .COM, .GOV, .EDU, .AC and .ORG have been set aside for the purposes of registration of local Iraqi companies, who will be offered domain registrations at a reduced price.

After the initial auction period, domains will become available on a standard registration fee basis.

CITRI intend to be only the short term custodian of the .IQ domain, and fully intend to pass ultimate control to a local non profit / academic body shortly after the initial auction process, at such time as the technical infrastructure exists to be able to host the domain securely and reliably locally within Iraq
