The .moscow .москва Project[edit | edit source]

The center submitted its official proposal to develop the .moscow .москва TLDs to various government agencies in Moscow.[3]

One of the leading newspapers in Moscow, the Moskovskiy Komsomolets, launched a survey on its website to determine if the project was supported by its constituents from September 2 to October 1, 2010. The survey found that the proposals were supported by thousands of individuals and businesses, as well as government agencies in the city.[4] The Moscow Department of Culture and the Moscow Department of Support and Development of Small and Middle Entrepreneurship (DSDSME) supported the recommendation of the RU-CENTER to create a Community Council to supervise the application for the TLDs. In 2011, the Foundation for Assistance for Internet Technologies and Infrastructure Development (FAITD) was established and took-over the responsibilities to manage the .moscow .москва project.[5] [6]

FAITID promoted the .moscow .москва Project during the 2010 RIPE NCC Moscow Regional Meeting, [7] the ICANN 40 Meeting in San Francisco, [8] the ICANN 43 Meeting in Costa Rica, [9] and during various Internet events, conferences and international domain forum.[10]

Together with Sedari we’ll make the project for Moscow top-level domains successful giving Russian users more choice in the domain name space."[11]
