.sarl is a top-level domain (TLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on August 8, 2014. The name "sarl" stands for Société à responsabilité limitée, a type of limited liability company commonly used in French-speaking countries. This domain was proposed during ICANN's New gTLD Program and went through various stages including a private auction where Donuts, a registry services provider, emerged as the winner.
The acquisition of the .sarl domain by Donuts came with certain restrictions due to objections raised by several national governments during the application process. These governments, primarily from French-speaking countries, expressed concerns over the potential misuse of the SARL acronym by entities that were not actually limited liability companies as defined by their respective laws. As a result, Donuts was advised to restrict registration to only verifiable SARL entities or those with pending SARL status. However, Donuts argued against these restrictions, stating that open registration is valid for New gTLDs and that current policies and enforcement mechanisms do not provide for such restrictions in existing gTLDs or country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Despite these objections, the Sunrise Period for the string began on September 2, 2014, and ended on November 1, 2014. There were no further mentions of restrictions in the provided data.
