What Is the History of .asia?
The .Asia TLD was proposed in 2004 under ICANN’s new gTLD program and formally delegated on May 2, 2007. A phased launch began with a Sunrise Period for trademark holders on October 9, 2007, followed by a Landrush Period from February to March 2008. Public registrations opened on March 26, 2008. The introduction of the Pioneer Domains Program marked a milestone as the first time domain applications were approved based on application quality rather than first-come-first-served order. DotAsia is the first gTLD headquartered in Asia and operates as a non-profit organization supporting regional Internet development.
