.ae

.ae（源自阿拉伯联合酋长国一词的中“Arab Emirates”的缩写“AE”）为阿拉伯联合酋长国（简称“阿联酋”）在互联网域名系统中拥有的国家及地区顶级域（ccTLD）。

历史沿革 
.ae域名最早于1992年分配给UUNET公司（经多次收购，现为威瑞信下属公司），随后于1995年转交给Etisalat公司，使得域名的管理能够在阿联酋境内完成。转移结束后曾有一段时间归阿拉伯联合酋长国大学管理，之后经过分离调整产生阿联酋网络信息中心（UAEnic）并继续管理该域。

2006年，互联网号码分配局（IANA）首次收到非正式的再授权请求，要求.ae域交由（TRA）管理。

2007年2月，IANA工作人员又收到更多请求，同时IANA也通知了这些请求的申请人有关再授权的评估标准。7月31日，IANA收到一份有关ccTLD变更TRA为管理人的正式申请模板文档，模板中计划ccTLD管理员为时任TRA技术事务负责人的穆罕默德·盖亚斯，却没有表明技术管理人员的具体身份，只是名字叫做“DNS Admin”（意思为DNS管理员）。在此之后，IANA又收到两份材料——其中一份材料是一封由TRA发送给互联网名称与数字地址分配机构（ICANN）中东区域联络处的信函，另一份材料是来自Etisalat支持TRA此举的传真副本。

再授权审核认为，几乎没有可用文档描述本地互联网社群对再授权的态度，或是与这些社群的磋商，随后TRA被要求提供更多的相关信息。

TRA回复如下：
[The] TRA is acting upon the National Telecom Law of the UAE, which ensures all telecom assets are managed in the public interest. […] The .AE Domain Name is certainly represented in the public interest through the establishment of the .AE Domain Administration, .aeDA (a function of the TRA). This entity will allow for public participation through the inception of an Advisory Board made of up industry members.

As the Internet community in the UAE is undeveloped it is difficult to canvass internet users with any authority or outcome. There are only two ISPs, so a survey or study doesn't seem worthwhile nor appropriate. There is no formal ISOC chapter here within the UAE. There are no organised public interest groups. The TRA does understand the value of the input of these groups into the process however it doesn't seem feasible nor warranted given the lack or organisation and clear response they would/ could provide.

Finally it is fair to say that the TRA have gained the view of the "Internet community" by seeking and receiving the support of the current .AE delegate (UAEnic and Etisalat).

经过IANA审核的结果如下：

2008年1月23日，ICANN董事会通过了.ae域再授权申请，下面是声明：

Whereas, the .AE top-level domain is the designated country-code for the United Arab Emirates.

Whereas, ICANN has received a request for redelegation of .AE to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.

Whereas, ICANN has reviewed the request, and has determined that the proposed redelegation would be in the best interest of the local and global Internet communities.

It is hereby resolved (2008.01.09), that the proposed redelegation of the .AE domain to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority is approved.
