The management of the .ru ccTLD was initially handled by the Russian Institute for Public Networks (RIPN) after it was commissioned by the largest [[ISP|internet service providers]] in Russia in 1993. These ISPs signed a compromise agreement on the terms and conditions on how to manage the .ru ccTLD. They also established a coordination group composed of 28 experts from telecommunication companies and academic networks to create registration policies for the ccTLD. In 1999, the Coordination Group for .ru ccTLD decided to transfer the responsibility of registering second level domain names from the RIPN to independent accredited registrars. RIPN remained the manager of the technical operations of the .ru ccTLD. In 2001, the RU Center became the first registrar, a subsidiary of RIPN. Garant-Park-Telecom was the second accredited registrar for .ru ccTLD.<ref name="background">[http://www.cctld.ru/en/about/history.php Background], CcTLD.ru</ref>

Application for .ДЕТИ (.CHILDREN) new gTLD[edit | edit source]

In November, 2011, the Coordination Center for TLD RU announced its plan to apply for the .ДЕТИ (.children) gTLD under ICANN's new gTLD expansion program. According to CC for TLD RU CEO Andrei Kolesnikov, the proposed .ДЕТИ new gTLD will be restricted for use by young internet users. He said that the initiative was inspired by the success of the .РФ IDN ccTLD. [2]

In a statement Kolesnikov said, "We hope to gain ICANN's approval and, in a year or so, to start creating an unique Internet space for kids where Russia's small citizens will have lots of fascinating experiences suitable for them while being protected from inappropriate content." [3]

In 2001, the Coordination Center for TLD RU (CC for TLD RU) was established by the Regional Nongovernmental Center of Internet Technologies, the Union of Internet Operators, and the Association of Documental Telecommunications.

Since its inception, the Coordination Center has been responsible for accrediting registrars for the .ru ccTLD.
