About the Policy 2001: INTT is the .TN regulation authority: in
charge of formal adjustments of naming charter, as well as Dispute resolution.
Need to be in Tunisia to reserve a domain name (some people in Tennessee wanted .TN)
Except for International Trademarks Generic sub-domains are not allowed
(textile.com.tn , ngo.org.tn …) A request for a name may need a proof for
eligibility
Technical aspects The primary nameserver “NS.ATI.TN” is
IPv6 Ready, and declared in the IANA root servers (2001:970:1:1::10).
DNSsec was tested since 2003, using privately generated certificates, (Exchange of name Zones between the primary DNS with its secondaries for some test Zones).
Several IDN aware solutions have been tested (at the local DNS level + testing of browsers with specific Plug-In’s)

Initiatives to Boost the .TN No more registration fees, only a yearly
subscription fees (42 Dinars /year ~ 28$) Free of charge for embassies, International
organizations in Tunisia, and associations ISP is no longer liable for content (users
tend to get generic names and host them elsewhere)
However: Users still prefer a GTLD: Cheaper, no paper work needed, they get it online

Ongoing Projects World Bank funded project:
NIC supporting IDN (Arabic domain names), Including the tools for implementing the Workflow between Registry and its registrars.
Implementing a system to automate the checking of the “trade Registers” database (hosted at the ministry of trade) this will allow the Online sale of domain names
– payment with the electronic e-dinar
