10 YEARS OF DOTASIA

by Edmon Chung | Oct 10, 2017




YOUNG ASIANS SETTING OUT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
#RISEWITHASIA

Whether 10 Internet-years is a long time or not is a matter of perspective. On
9th October 2007 at 12 noon UTC, the .Asia Sunrise launched, allowing trademark
holders priority registrations before .Asia opened up for general availability
through Landrush and Go Live in February and March of 2008. The .Asia launch
pioneered a number of features that have since become benchmarks for Top-Level
Domain (TLD) launches, including the Sunrise, the use of auctions, our Pioneer
Domains / Founders Program. The .Asia launch was well received and highly
acclaimed, with 30,000 global trademarks registered by the end of Sunrise and
achieving 100% satisfaction rating in an online poll from the Intellectual
Property Rights (IPR) community, paving the way for large scale orderly launches
of new gTLDs.



Rather than identifying one particular date for our anniversary celebrations,
DotAsia is celebrating with the Asia Internet and DNS community across the
months from our Sunrise through to the Go Live of .Asia registrations. Stay
tuned for our activities in Abu Dhabi, UAE at the ICANN meetings in the Asia
Pacific region, the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) later on in the year, and in
Kathmandu, Nepal at the upcoming APRICOT meetings where we hold our DotAsia
Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year.

This year, we picked October 10th, a perfect 10-10, to kick off our 10th
anniversary celebrations, with an emphasis not only on looking back, but
purposefully picking the day after the launch day 10 years ago, to look forward.

The future builds on the past. The first decade of DotAsia saw us developing a
broad foundation, establishing a wide-ranging footprint to support usage of
.Asia domain names across industries and spectrums. Along the journey, DotAsia
has produced an award nominated feature film; served as the secretariat for the
“Asian Oscars” – the Asian Film Awards; supported the secretariat for the IANA
Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG); served as a coordinator for
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day in Hong Kong and across Asia; launched the
Go.Asia charity platform in collaboration with the first Asian Star Wars action
superstar Donnie Yen; supported the development of a free Asia-wide crowdfunding
platform: Give.Asia; helped initiate the Asia Pacific Regional Internet
Governance Forum (APrIGF); spearheaded youth engagement and participation in
Internet Governance through the NetMission.Asia program which nurtured a
generation of young Internet leaders who has went on to develop startups of
their own and serve on various global multistakeholder committees, including the
IGF MAG, and sparking Youth IGF movements around the world; taken on board
Ajitora, the Internet born tiger, as our Stakeholder Engagement Manager in
support of Sustainable Development as an imperative alongside rapid economic
growth in Asian Tiger and Tiger cub economies; among many other exciting events,
concerts and initiatives.



Our community activities reinforces our market development for the .Asia domain,
opening opportunities in new verticals and sectors, from brands to startups,
from celebrities to media channels, from personal to technical, from governments
to the civil society, and beyond. Earlier this year, as we began the planning
for our 10 year anniversary celebrations, the DotAsia team underwent rigorous
discussions reflecting deeply on our first 10 years, and contemplating on our
future direction. With generous gratis support from professional consultants and
advisors, together, we distilled our kaleidoscope of work into nuggets of core
values and competences, which invariably point to our successful work and
leadership in youth engagement and development.

Emerging from the review and deliberations is a clarified and renewed sense of
purpose to support Asian youth looking to start their own initiatives leveraging
the Internet to advance social innovation and positive social impact: Young
Asians Setting Out to Change the World! While our first 10 years can be
characterised as spreading out across a broad, encompassing scope, we now look
to consolidate our efforts to go deeper and build higher. Building on our decade
of institutional knowledge in youth development, across our work in
NetMission.Asia, Go.Asia, Ajitora.Asia, in commemoration of our 10-year
anniversary, and in support of young leaders around Asia, DotAsia is launching
the Youth Mobility Index (YMI.Asia), which provides a comprehensive study on
Youth Mobility across the Asian countries, considering not only the conventional
social mobility, but a wider concept of geographical and digital mobility,
measuring and modelling the basic capacity of mobility; the motivations for
being mobile; and the availability of networks and opportunities to mobilise
talent, raise capital and leverage logistic capacity for the flow of goods and
services. The YMI methodology features a strong emphasis on the Sustainability
Factors and the Internet Factors alongside a Youth Advantage dimension, each
building on our accrued knowledge.



DotAsia has always envisioned the utilization of the .Asia domain by Asians
around the world. After 10 years of robust and proven operations, the .Asia
policies were updated earlier in the year to more readily accept registrants
seeking, rather than already having, a presence to serve the Asia Internet
market. This not only allows the Asian diaspora or anyone interested in Asia to
utilize the .Asia domain, it also dovetails with our consolidated effort to
support young Asians, no matter where they are in the world, to go places!

The DotAsia movement was first conceptualized in 2000. The .Asia TLD became a
reality 10 years ago in 2007. Then as now we continue to adopt the guiding
spirit for DotAsia to be “From.Asia/For.Asia”. At our 5th year anniversary, we
updated the commitment towards “Connecting Asia with One Domain“. Today, at our
10th anniversary from the launch of .Asia, we are calling on and supporting the
world of dreamers to #RiseWithAsia.




Your domain is your deed. Every .Asia domain name contributes to the development
of the Internet in Asia. It is the vision of DotAsia that while .Asia is just a
TLD, every .Asia domain promotes a peaceful and prosperous Asia Pacific
community. Now, more than ever, is resolve and tolerance paramount to our shared
future in Asia. DotAsia aspires to help plant the seeds and be the catalyst
towards better understanding among our diverse cultures through supporting the
mobility of youth, geo-physically, socially and digitally. Be part of the .Asia
domain movement! Together, we can build a more connected, mobile, lively yet
peaceful Asia, one dotted name at a time.




TOP 10: .ASIA DOMAINS

by Edmon Chung | Oct 31, 2017

Over the years there have been numerous exciting .Asia domains set up. One of
the earliest examples was Johnny Walker’s KeepWalking.Asia as part of an Asia
wide TV and online campaign in 2008. Even though the domain is no longer
operational, it inspired our continued tracking of live .Asia websites through
the KeepClicking.Asia initiative, now integrated with our main site and social
media page: http://www.facebook.asia/dot.asia.

Here are my Top 10 picks (at the moment… as it certainly changes all the time)
of high traffic .Asia domains that exemplify or showcase how .Asia domains can
be used.

TOP 10: ESPORTS TEAMS

by Clement Leong | Oct 30, 2017

Claiming the World Championship titles in 2013, 2015, 2016 and now among
favourites for 2017, SKT is all too obvious as the choice for top spot. While
they suffered from a slump in 2014, SKT’s star player Faker, argued by some to
be the most dominant player of all time has stayed with the team throughout his
dazzling career. SKT have already forged a lasting legend for themselves;
winning this season’s championship would only push it to the next level.

TOP 10: ASIAN MOVIES

by Aaron SP | Oct 25, 2017

As a movie lover, it’s always hard to pick the top 10. Frankly speaking, if
there is no year limitation (2017), I would definitely have a wider selection.

A movie is not just a form of entertainment, it can also inspire people and even
influence an individual’s way of thinking. So here is my top 10 without any
specific ranking orders:

TOP 10: ASIAN SUPERSTITIONS

by Kelvin Truong | Oct 18, 2017

Like many other Asians, I grew up in a traditional household and my elders –
from my grandmother to my mom (to think of it, maybe it was just the women) are
highly superstitious. They told me the craziest things! I didn’t want to believe
in them, but I wasn’t going to take any chances so I followed those rules. To
this day, even though I still don’t believe in those superstitions, I catch
myself passing them onto my own daughter. At the very least, they ARE an
excellent way to get her to follow rules.

TOP 10: SUPERFOODS

by Beatrice Chan | Oct 16, 2017

I started falling in love with concept of “food as medicine” since my childhood
when I was inspired by “The Huangdi Neijing” (a.k.a The Yellow Emperor’s Classic
of Medicine 黃帝內經). Later when I started exploring more from the school library,
I found that the Greek physician Hippocrates, known as the Father of Early
Medicine (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC) had suggested the same concept around the
same period of time. He stated “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy
food.” This has become my creed of life as eating right is really important!
Here are my top 10 choices for super foods.

disclaimer that these 10 exotic foods may be only baby level for some while
daring for others – especially westerners. This is just a snapshot of my
personal top 10 for exotic Asian foods (that I’ve tried). My list will begin
with #10 for least adventurous to #1 for most daring dishes. So here we go…

TOP 10: ASIAN ATHLETES

by Clement Chan | Oct 11, 2017

I have always wanted to be an athlete since a very young age, but growing up in
a traditional Chinese family, school always came first and there was only just
enough room to do sports recreationally. It always makes me proud to see how
Asian athletes are making a name for themselves in their respective sports. They
have the powerful ability to inspire many more kids, including other Asians to
start young. Here are my top 10 Asian athletes of all time that I think have
been very influentia

by Karry Yu | Oct 8, 2017

In the face of declining global music sales in recent years, the music industry
in Asia, particularly that of China, South Korea and Japan, is a rapidly growing
economic sector; home to some of the world’s largest music markets. I have
shortlisted my top 10 most influential and outstanding Asian musicians as
follows:
