'''1986-1997: NIC-France'''

From 1986 to 1997, INRIA was responsible for the management of the French TLD .fr ([[ccTLD]] [[ISO]] code 3166) on behalf of the Standard Research Institute’s Network Information Centre ([[SRI-NIC]]) and the [[INTERNIC]]. Until 1992, INRIA also managed [[Fnet]] (also called the INRIA network), which, at the time, was the only internet service in France. As demand increased, INRIA opened up for everyone in France who wanted internet connectivity. With the appearance of new network service providers, a Consultative Committee ([[CC-NIC]]) was setup in 1994 comprising of representatives each from the INRIA and the service providers. Since then many service providers have joined the consultative committee and provides funds to NIC-France. Intellectual property issues were considered for the first time by setting rules for assigning names under the .fr domain. November 1995, NIC- France stopped the service of allocating IP addresses.
