'''.москва''' (the Russian translation for [[.moscow]]) is a new [[IDN]] [[GeoTLD]] that was proposed in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD expansion program]]. The application for the .москва IDN TLD was submitted by the [[Foundation for Assistance for Internet Technologies and Infrastructure Development]] (FAITID), a non-profit organization established in 2011 to develop and implement initiatives to increase the use of the Internet in Russian communities and internationally.<ref>[http://www.domainmoscow.org/ About TLDs .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА]</ref> Their application succeeded and was delegated to the [[Root Zone]] on 24 April 2014.<ref name="delegation">[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings Delegated Strings, ICANN.org] Retrieved 30 May 2014</ref>

==The .moscow .москва Project==
In 2010, The [[RU-CENTER]], a Russian [[Registrar]], initiated the .moscow .москва project and recommended the creation of a special Community Council to handle the applications for the proposed TLDs with [[ICANN]]. The center submitted its official proposal to develop the .moscow .москва TLDs to various government agencies in Moscow.<ref>[http://www.domainmoscow.org/node/49 RU-CENTER has announced the idea of TLDs .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА implementation]</ref>
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.<ref>[http://www.domainmoscow.org/node/50 A poll in the support of TLDs .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА started on the “Moskovskiy Komsomolets” website]</ref> 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.<ref>[http://www.domainmoscow.org/ About TLDs .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА]</ref> <ref>[http://en.faitid.org/ About the Foundation]</ref>

==Application to ICANN==
FAITD selected [[Sedari]], a TLD business management service provider to help prepare the application for the TLDs with ICANN. FAITID Board Member Dmitry Burkov expressed his confidence in the Sedari management and cited the company's knowledge and expertise in TLDs and ICANN procedures. He said, ''"Implementation of any TLD is a complicated project with many issues to resolve. That’s why we’ve chosen Sedari as our strategic international partner for .MOSCOW and .МОСКВА. Sedari management has the experience and industry knowledge on ICANN that makes us confident the company is familiar with all the procedures of the corporation, in particular related to new TLDs. Together with Sedari we’ll make the project for Moscow top-level domains successful giving Russian users more choice in the domain name space."''<ref>
