On 06 February 2014 [[Starting Dot]] received a [[Registry Agreement]] signed by [[ICANN]] for .archi after passing all the required processes needed to become a [[Registry Operator]] for the string.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/registries-date Registry Agreements, ICANN.org] Retrieved 10 Feb 2014</ref>
==GAC Early Warning==
France issued [[GAC]] early warnings to this string and the related [[.architect]] string. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the [[ICANN Board]] that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/gac-early-warning GAC Early Warning, NewgTLDS.ICANN.org] Retrieved 26 Nov 2012</ref>
The application for .archi string is supported by the Paris-based International Architectural Union, the umbrella trade organization of more than one million architects. <ref>[http://domainincite.com/another-contention-battle-confirmed-as-starting-dot-reveals-five-gtld-bids/ Another contention battle confirmed as Starting Dot reveals five gTLD bids]</ref>
The warning notes that architects are a certified and regulated sector in France and asks that the TLD be limited to only legitimate architects.<ref>[https://gacweb.icann.org/download/attachments/22938690/Archi-FR-49620.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1353451915000 Archi FR, GACweb.ICANN.org]Retrieved 26 Nov 2012</ref>
