Where can I register names under .ASIA TLD when it is available?

You can register names under .ASIA TLD through our accredited registrars and participating ccTLDs (see ICANN | ICANN-Accredited Registrars) or their resellers.

Who can register names under .ASIA TLD?

Legal entities within the Pan-Asia and Asia-Pacific region (defined by ICANN as Asia/Australia/Pacific region; see ICANN | ICANN Montral Meeting Topic: Review of ICANN's Geographic Regions) can register names under .ASIA TLD.

What are the special features and differentiators of .ASIA TLD?

The .ASIA Sponsored gTLD will allow companies, organisations, events and individuals within the Asia community to establish their online identity in a regional context. While current gTLDs tend to focus on a vertical group (e.g. commercial entities, network providers, organisations, museums, cooperatives, etc.) within the global Internet, .ASIA will embrace a horizontal perspective with a clear brand to reach and enrich the broad global community. Unlike ccTLDs also, which provides for a local audience, .ASIA will allow the user to express a regional relevance.

For Dispute Resolution Policy (DRP), we will adopt the Universal Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) as our default DRP. However, we will also explore the feasibility and value to apply local dispute resolution policy developed by participating ccTLDs (our Sponsor Members) wherever possible, for example for cases where both the complainant and the respondent come from the same economy. This may be particularly useful for IDN cases. We will conduct an extensive study on this matter after we obtain the approval of ICANN.

Also, DotAsia will have Charter Eligibility Dispute Resolution Policy (CEDRP) which can help to restrict non-compliant domain registrations. DotAsia will have extensive reserved name arrangements with ccTLDs so that certain level of geographical names and politically sensitive names can be protected. Last but not least, DotAsia will do joint marketing and product bundling with participating ccTLDs (Sponsor Members).

Will .ASIA offer IDN services?

Yes. .ASIA will launch ASCII domain name services first. Afterwards, we will launch IDN services step by step, language by language, strictly following the IDN standards of IETF and IDN guidelines issued by ICANN.

Hello Everybody. This is my first post here. Thanks Ray Neu and NeazMH for above posts. Actually, I'm considering to buy a .Asia domain from a friend (my business related domain). I will be glad if you can provide some details about transfer process. Cheers.
