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.<ref>[http://pioneer.domains.asia/press/2007-07-11-DotAsia-PR.html Pionner Domains]</ref> [[Vint Cerf]] was quoted as saying : "The Pioneer Domains Program will be a useful benchmark for other new [[TLD]] operators to take into account".<ref>[http://pioneer.domains.asia/press/2007-07-11-DotAsia-PR.html Pionner Domains]</ref>

The [[Sunrise]] period began in October, 2007. The [[Landrush]] lasted from February to March, 2008. The Organisation claims that there were zero disputes received throughout the entire start-up process.<ref>[http://www.dotasia.org/about/intro.html DotAsia About]</ref> However, [[Thomas Rucker]] may take issue with that claim as he runs a [http://www.dotasia-complot.org/cat30.html website] highlighting the discrepancies and "shady" dealing he sees within The DotAsia Organisation.
