The domain netbsd.ru many years was registered at Russian Telecom
organization (no working site), but in this year they don't update
payments for it. And after subscribe was expired, some
person/organization at once registered this domain in the spring and
after some time print message about sell.

If TNF can control netbsd.ru and redirect to netbsd.org or permission to
Russian NetBSD Community this will be great!

There is a NetBSD community in Russia, on the social network VK.com
and on the sites runetbsd.ru, and news site opennet.ru. Maybe The
NetBSD Foundation, as a trademark owner, will try to file a complaint
against the cybersquatter(s) so that the netbsd.ru domain belongs to
TNF?
Hello Dmitrii, do you have a specific web site project in mind for
netbsd.ru ? The domain doesn't seen to have been in use before so I
suppose it would be hard to make a case. In general, do those types
of complain even work in a more critical scenario? It's unfortunately
a very common practice *1 and many domains are held like that. You're
talking about a domain held by https://domainparking.ru/ but I've also
noticed a few are held by nic.ru (RU-CENTER) itself, which is a
registrar! This leads me to assume it's legal practice and we cannot
do much against it.
