==History== | |||
The management of the .ru ccTLD was initially overseen by the Russian Institute for Public Networks (RIPN) after being commissioned by Russia's largest Internet service providers in 1993. | |||
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. These public organizations represent the interests of Internet users, communication service operators, government agencies, and entrepreneurs in Russia. Since its inception, the Coordination Center has been responsible for accrediting registrars for the .ru ccTLD. In 2002, all administrative functions of the .ru ccTLD were transferred to the Coordination Center. Meanwhile, RIPN retained technical responsibilities, such as managing the registered domain name database, providing technical support for the .ru ccTLD, and overseeing Russia’s domain name system (DNS).<ref name="background"></ref> | |||
On January 4, 2006, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) formally delegated the .ru ccTLD to the Coordination Center for TLD RU.<ref>[http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/ru.html Delegation Record for .RU]</ref> | |||
On March 25, 2007, CC for TLD RU formalized its relationship with the [[ICANN]] and its commitment to help ensure the security, stability and interoperability of the internet [[DNS|domain name system]] (DNS) through an exchange letter between [[Andrey Romanov]], director of CC for TLD RU and [[Paul Twomey]], [[ICANN CEO]] and President. In 2009, CC for TLD RU and the Internet Development Foundation co-founded the Internet Technical Center (ITC), which took over the responsibilities of the RIPN. | |||
On May 13, 2010, ICANN approved the IDN ccTLD [[.РФ]], the Cyrillic script for Russian Federation. <ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/icann_launches_russias_top_level_domain_in_cyrillic_characters/ ICANN Launches Russia's Top-Level Domain in Cyrillic Characters]</ref> | |||
