History
The former Serbia and Montenegro used the .yu domain when still called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In June 2006 Serbia and Montenegro split into two separate countries. In July 2006 the Serbian Ministry of Science and a group of 34 interested organizations founded the National Internet Domain Registry (RNIDS). In September 2006, the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency decided to allocate RS as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Serbia. IANA assigned .rs as the ccTLD for this country.
The delegation of name servers by IANA started in September 2007. https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/rs.html IANA .rs whois information 1 October 2014 Registration of the .rs domain names commenced on 10 March 2008.October 2022
In 2007 ICANN also resolved https://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-11sep07.htm Preliminary Report for Special Meeting of the ICANN Board of Directors 1 October 2014 that RNIDS, the operators of the new .rs domain registry, should temporarily operate the former .yu domain until its eventual abolition on or before 30 September 2009. This allowed a two-year transition period for existing .yu names to transferred either to .rs for Serbia or to .me for Montenegro. The .yu domain finally expired on 30 March 2010. https://www.rnids.rs/en/what-s-new/yu-domain-becomes-history RNIDS news RNIDS 30 March 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100201171046/http://www.rnids.rs/en/node/67 1 February 2010 live dmy 2010-03-30
