Centre National de l’Informatique (CNI) or, in English, Burundi National Center of Information Technology is the organization that manages and administers the .bi ccTLD for Burundi.[1]

History

The Centre National de l’Informatique started its operations in 1973 as a computer parastatal corporation under supervision of the ministry of Finance. In 1978, the company was given management autonomy, and its goal was to develop the computer business nationwide for the public as well as for the private sectors. Within the framework of the privatization and structural adjustment policy initiated by the World Bank and IMF (International Monetary Fund), CNI was taken over in 1993 by a private group of Burundi shareholders.

In 2002, CNI negociated and obtained from ICANN a redelegation of the Burundi country code top level domain .BI. Today, CNI is the sponsoring organization of .bi and the Manager of its Registry.[2]
