In 2000, Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC) was established under DGPT (which later became Ministry of Information and Communications) to take over the management of .vn. From then on, VNNIC has been developing the management structure, registry/registrar model and pushing up the registration of .vn in both domestic and international markets.
