“We set out to implement a stable and orderly introduction of the .asia domain name into the social and technical fabric of the Internet. I believe we have accomplished our goal, says Edmon Chung, CEO of DotAsia Organisation. “The .asia startup phases were completed with zero disputes arising out of the process. The successful first-of-its-kind launch has also helped build a strong foundation for growth and value of .asia domain names.
