IDN names will be available in the .ASIA domain zone.

The administrator of the .ASIA domain, dotAsia, plans to launch registration of names in national languages ​​in the .ASIA domain zone. These names will use characters from the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean alphabets.

The idea's proponents believe that the introduction of IDN domains will increase internet popularity in the region, making it easier for users to enter domain names in their native language. Such names will be most popular among small companies planning to establish an online presence.

The domain administrator plans to launch priority registration from May 11 to July 20, 2011, with general registration beginning on August 2. If there are multiple bids for a single domain, an auction will be held.
