HOPE 2020 (2020): "Launching the Cyrillic IDN TLD as the first Internationalized Domain Name in the World" (Download)
Tuesday, July 28, 2020: 1900. This talk will cover the birth of the Russian domain space (.RU), its evolution, and how it addressed challenges such as creating/managing non-Latin international domain names (IDN) starting with the first Cyrillic domain (a pioneering ICANN program) and de-monopolization of the Russian domain business while educating government officials.
