• relationship to the established name, if any, of the community.

The word “HALAL” is the core fundamental of the Halal service providers community. Without the philosophy of “Halal”, no such a community would be shaped.


• relationship to the identification of community members.

As stated above, community members will feel an affinity and self-identification with the .HALAL TLD. As adoption of .HALAL grows, use of domains using this community TLD will grow exponentially, helping to cement the obvious connection between the string and the community. Our community members are the producers or service providers of the halal products.

AGITSYS knows of no other connotations the .HALAL string might have outside of this community.

• relationship to the established name, if any, of the community.

Shia is the name of the second largest sect within the Islamic religion and thus the Muslim community. The .SHIA community (synonymous with the Shia Muslim community) is well known globally, and thus it is not expected that AGITSys will have to undertake any awareness campaigns as to the nature of the community.

Every Muslim around the world, notwithstanding the sect they belong to or their nationality, knows Islam as their religion and the Shia to be a sect of that religion. There will be instant understanding amongst anyone in the Muslim community as to the meaning of .SHIA, and the fact that any second-level domain with the .SHIA gTLD will be a site providing them with information and access critical to them as a community member.

Equally, Islam as a culture and religion, and the Shia sect within are extremely recognizable to members of other cultures and religions – meaning broader awareness of the significance of the .SHIA gTLD beyond the Shia and general Muslim communities will be high.

As stated above, community members will feel an affinity and self-identification with the .SHIA TLD. As adoption of .SHIA grows, use of domains using this community TLD will grow exponentially, helping to cement the obvious connection between the string and the community. For the purpose of limiting registrants within the gTLD to Muslims, a key identifier for community members is that they must have publicly pronounced the Shahadah, as described in section A above, and further elaborated below.
