Donating to the needy is nowadays integral part in many cultures around the world. The purpose of .ONL is to incorporate this spirit and extend it to the Internet. With each domain registration the registrant supports the concept of I-REGISTRY, the Registry operator of .ONL, to donate parts of the proceeds to charitable causes with a focus on Internet topics such as digital divide, education of young⁄old Internet users and others. Registrants of .ONL have the opportunity and are expected to participate in the allocation of donations. In doing so, .ONL will support bringing more attention to the Needy and activating further donations.

With .ONL Registrants can use an open, yet branded namespace, which has a unique and memorable meaning and will become a brand for online communication. The TLD .ONL and its domain names are intended for and thereby specialized to create content and facilitate communication in connection with the brand ONL, especially by generic, keyword and individual domain names. Internet users will benefit from a new global online brand which has no barriers and is open to everybody. Registrants will have unlimited options when registering a domain because .ONL opens up a completely vacant namespace where all domain names are still available.

The .ONL space will operate following an unrestricted registration model, meaning that no eligibility criteria or registration restrictions will be imposed upon prospective registrants in the space."<ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1605 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 16 Feb 2013</ref>
