Start-Up
The Sunrise, Landrush, and Pioneer Domains Program went historically smooth for .asia. It conceived of the Pioneer Domains Program as an alternative to the general first-come-first-serve policy usually put in place through the Sunrise and Landrush periods. Its departure from this model marks the first time an application for a domain name was approved on the quality of the application itself.[2] Vint Cerf was quoted as saying : "The Pioneer Domains Program will be a useful benchmark for other new TLD operators to take into account".[3].
The Sunrise period began in October, 2007. The Landrush last from February to March, 2008. There were zero disputes received throughout the entire start-up process.[4]
