In speech, Coscivian-speakers pronounce the domain suffix as ''dótkaro'', ''ka'' and ''ro'' being the Coscivian names for the Latin letters 'k' and 'r', the latter having been conflated with the Greek ''rho''. ''Dótkaro'' is often declined as if it were a third-declension noun (e.g. "the owners of greaterixnay.kr" would be ''émurya greaterixnay-dótkarosk''), but this is considered poor form in written language. | In speech, Coscivian-speakers pronounce the domain suffix as ''dótkaro'', ''ka'' and ''ro'' being the Coscivian names for the Latin letters 'k' and 'r', the latter having been conflated with the Greek ''rho''.

With the 21205 introduction of the internationalised ccTLD ''.⌬⌬'' in the Coscivian script, Kiravia Online announced that it would concentrate its efforts on promotion and development of .⌬⌬ and other Coscivian-script domains and gradually contracting most public-facing services for .kr out to private companies. | |||

Registration of new domains at the third level is accomplished by submission of a request to Registrar.kr, a project of Kiravia Online. Most requests are submitted online, though the organisation receives a handful of requests by mail each year. In order to register a domain directly at the second level, the applicant must submit a written petition to Kiravia Online, where it is subject to review by a Board of Revisions based on several criteria, principally the applicant entity's "capacity for productive long-term occupancy of the domain", its degree of physical presence in Kiravia, and its "forseeable contributions to the advancement of Kiravian networked computing". It is understood that the third criterion is fulfilled by a sizeable donation to Kiravia Online in the applicant's name. Proposals for new categorical second-level domains are submitted by the Kiravian Internet Organisation. | Registration of new domains at the third level is accomplished by submission of a request to Registrar.kr, a project of Kiravia Online.

Latin letters and diacritics used in the standard Romanisation of Kiravic (e.g. á, þ, ē, ğ, æ) or in {{wp|Portuguese language|Lusonic}} or [[Gaelic in Kiravia|Kiravian Gaelic]] are included. Ordinary domain names must be between 3 and 29 characters in length, though two-character and 30-33 character names may be granted by special petition. | ||
==Restrictions== | |||
Under the original registration policy of 21175, .kr domains are available to: | |||
*Citizens and other nationals of the Kiravian Federacy | |||
*Corporations, associations, and other entities incorporated or legally operating in the Federacy | |||
In 21187 this policy was *de facto* extended to include resident foreigners and guest workers, as tax identification numbers became accepted as proof of nationality. | |||
In 21190, the policy was loosened to allow registrations by | |||
*Entities with a ''bona fide'' Kiravian focus or interest | |||
*Foreign-nexus organisations and services with a with significant content in Coscivian or Coscivian-script languages. | |||
In 21197, in order to promote use, registration requirements were liberalised to allow for more foreign registrations, with an assurance that the 21190 rules would be reïnstated and foreign registrations capped if they became "sufficiently numerous to dilute the Kiravian ethos of the domain." However, in 21206, Kiravia Online announced that enforcement of all requirements for open-registration domains would be suspended indefinitely as most registration services would now be handled by outside contractors. | |||
===Accredited Domains=== | |||
In 21187 the Industrial & Commercial Executive published a white paper on obstacles to the expansion of commercial activity on the internet that identified low levels of trust among Kiravian consumers in paid online services and digital advertising, linked to concerns about fraud, payment security, and lack of regulation. In response, the Kiravian Internet Organisation recommended the nesting of second-level "accredited domains" under .kr, registration under which would be restricted to entities able to document their offline legitimacy and maintain a good record of regulatory compliance. Based on this recommendation, Kiravia Online introduced several categorical subdomains intended for use by certain business sectors (e.g. financial services, healthcare), licensed professions, and verified non-profit institutions. | |||
According to the KIO, the accredited domain programme was successful in increasing consumer confidence and paving the way for the increased internet use and online commerce. Accredited domains remain desirable and highly sought after. However, a 21199 audit by the federal Consumer Protection Bureau found that although enforcement of registration policies under certain subdomains was sufficiently rigorous, applications under many other domains were subject to inconsistent and often cursory verification. The CPB probe found that many applications lodged with fake documentation were granted, and that in a handful of cases Kiravia Online accepted applications with clearly incomplete or bogus documents (e.g. blank PDFs or scanned grocery coupons instead of dentistry diplomas). | |||

Every federal subject of the Kiravian Federacy is granted a three-letter .kr second-level domain identical to its postal abbreviation, (''e.g.'' '''.kkk.kr''' for [[Koskenkorva]], '''.niy.kr''' for [[Niyaska]]). These domains are utilised mostly by government agencies of the federal subjects, municipal governments, and civil society groups with strong local foci. | |||
