The management of the .ru ccTLD was initially handled by the Russian Institute for Public Networks (RIPN) after it was commissioned by the largest internet service providers ([[ISP]]s) in Russia including Demos Plus, Techno, GlasNet, SovAm Teleport, EUnet/Relcom, X-Atom and FREEnet 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 .ru ccTLD domain names. 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>[http://www.cctld.ru/en/about/history.php Background]</ref>


In 2001, the Coordination Center for TLD RU (CC for TLD RU) was created by the Regional Nongovernmental Center of Internet Technologies, Union of Internet Operators and the Association of Documental Telecommunications. These are public organizations in Russia that represent the interests of Internet users, operators of communication services, government agencies and entrepreneurs. Since its establishment, the Coordination Center for TLD RU was responsible in accrediting registrars for the .ru ccTLD. In 2002, all the responsibilities of the Coordination Group for .ru ccTLD was transferred to Coordination Center for TLD RU. RIPN handles the technical functions including the maintenance of the database of registered domain names, providing technical support for .ru ccTLD and the domain name system (DNS) of Russia. <ref>[http://www.cctld.ru/en/about/history.php Background]</ref>
