.adac
generic
.adac is a generic top-level domain created for the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V., better known as ADAC, Germany's largest automobile club. The registry was originally delegated to ADAC in 2016. The domain was intended to serve as a branded space for the club and its members. However, the .adac domain is no longer present in the root zone. IANA records show the domain was revoked in late 2022. As a result, .adac is not currently available for registration or use. The name itself is an obvious abbreviation of the club's initials. No sponsoring organisation is listed at this time.
History
ADAC applied for and secured the .adad TLD in 2016 as part of ICANN's new gTLD program. The domain was active for several years but was ultimately revoked in November 2022. The reasons for revocation are not detailed in the IANA record. The domain remains in a state where it is not in the root zone.
Eligibility and restrictions
.adac is not a public domain. It was a branded TLD for ADAC and could only be used by the club or its affiliates. The domain is now revoked and not available for new registrations.
