ICANN: Domain Deals - Côte d'Ivoire & Russia

March 28, 2007

ICANN formalized relationships with country code top level domain (ccTLD) managers for .ci (Côte d'Ivoire) and .ru (Russia) at its meeting in Lisbon, Portugal on Wednesday.

The relationship with Côte d'Ivoire is an accountability framework, while the Russian deal took the form of an exchange of letters, ICANN said. They represent the 20th and 21st formalized relationships between ccTLD managers and ICANN, according to a press release.

Accountability framework and exchange of letters documents can be found here. ICANN signed a similar agreement over the weekend with Libya.
