For many years, the allocation and transactions of
".tr" domain names have been carried out by the Middle
East Technical University ("METU")
through the Nic.TR system. With the Regulation on Internet Domain
Names, which was put into effect by the Ministry of Transport and
Infrastructure, this authority and duty has been given to the
Information Technologies and Communication Authority
("BTK"). Thereupon, METU transferred the
management of ".tr" domain names to BTK with an agreement
signed on December 21st, 2018. The agreement regulated that the
Nic.TR system would be closed in 2020 and the .tr Network
Information System ("TRABIS") would
replace it.
On March 23rd, 2020, Nic.TR system was closed to applications
and renewals. During the transition period, i.e., until TRABIS goes
into operation, operators called "registry operators",
who have signed contracts with Nic.TR management, carries out the
allocation processes. The Nic.TR system will be closed
simultaneously
