In 2002, Rwanda's government sought to transfer management to a local entity due to inadequate service. After years of negotiation and formal requests, Rwanda Internet Community and Technology Alliance (RICTA) Ltd was officially redelegated as the registry operator by ICANN on August 18, 2012, following a formal Memorandum of Understanding with Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA).
