.so was originally delegated in August 1997. In February 2009, IANA redelegated the domain to the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. Management of .so is carried out by the Somali Network Information Centre (SONIC), which also oversees second-level domains such as .com.so, .net.so, and .gov.so. The registry has implemented technical and policy measures to ensure responsible use and alignment with Somali legal and cultural norms.
