In November, 2010, The DotAsia Organisation entered into an agreement with [[Afilias]] concerning [[DNSSEC]] implementation. The Organisation hailed it as a sign of its dedication to security issues and its status as an industry pioneer, given that at that time it is one of a few [[TLD]]s to have implemented [[DNSSEC]].<ref>[http://www.afilias.info/news/2010/11/11/afilias-and-dotasia-collaborate-dnssec-implementation-asia Afilias News]</ref>

==Relief.Asia==

Following the Myanmar Cyclone and Sichuan Earthquakes, the DotAsia Organisation, along with other Asian IT leaders like [[ISOC]] HK, [[APNG]], [[APNIC]] and others, created the Relief.Asia initiative. Their goal was to create a platform that could unite the Asian community in responding to disasters through IT solutions. Components of the initiative include: the deployment of wireless networks to areas that lose their fixed infrastructure, called DUMBO; The Sahana [[FOSS]] Management system that provides management applications designed to help with compiling missing persons registry, relief organization registries, and related programs; they also have a social networking platform that connects blogs with a wiki to provide for direct international communication regarding a given disaster.<ref>[http://www.relief.asia/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=37 relief.asia]</ref>

They have recently been involved in the New Zealand earthquakes and Japanese tsunami of 2010.
