More information:

.archi is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. STARTING DOT, a French new gTLD start up company applying for 5 total TLDs, is the only applicant for .archi.[1]

STARTING DOT plans to restrict the registration of .archi domain names to certified architects and individuals who have graduated with a degree in architecture.[2] The application is supported by the Paris-based International Architectural Union (UIA), the umbrella trade organization for more than one million architects.[3] The UIA was founded in 1948, UIA is the most representative professional organization of architects and the only global network of architecture, covering120 countries and territories through its members sections.[4]

The UIA has objected to the open gTLD application for .architect submitted by Donuts.[5]
