History

The .rw country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Rwanda was created around 1996.[1] It was managed and operated under a Swiss company by a Belgian entrepreneur named Frédéric Grégoire. In 2005, the Rwanda Internet Community and Technology Alliance (RICTA) started a legal process to retain the domain name and operate it locally in Rwanda. They were finally able to achieve this in 2012.[2]
