After the ICANN Draw, application for the .ДЕТИ domain has become number 67 out of 1917 applications. Simultaneously with the .ДЕТИ application, ICANN will evaluate applications for .ОНЛАЙН (6th), .САЙТ (9th), .РУС (56th), .КОМ (61st) and .МОСКВА (69th) domains. “Because the applications are far from each other, launches of these TLDs will be far from each other in time. Since .РУС, .ДЕТИ and .МОСКВА top-level domains will be evaluated in the same batch, the registrars will benefit from starting registration in several TLDs at once,” said representatives of the Foundation for Assistance for Internet Technologies and Infrastructure Development, which submitted applications for top-level domains for the capital of Russia.

The amendments to the Administrative Code for penalties for the unfiltered Internet access in public areas will be considered in the State Duma in the first reading. “The draft amendments proposed two weeks after the law took effect indicate a lack of elaboration of the law,” says Matvey Alexeev, CEO of the Foundation for Assistance for Internet Technologies and Infrastructure Development. “The lack concerns both technical elaboration, which describes how to implement the requirements, and legal elaboration.”
