Public Comment Period: Draft .ASIA Community Reserved Names Policy
by boardsec＠dot.asia 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

Dear DotAsia Community, In response to community suggestions for protection of active .Asia domain names used for community purposes that aligns with the DotAsia vision and mission (https://www.dot.asia/dotasia-organisation/about-dotasia/#visionmission) and the global Asia Pacific Internet community we serve, DotAsia is looking to put in place a Community Reserved Names Policy. In short, the .ASIA Community Reserved Names Policy is intended to provide an extra level of protection against inadvertent lapses of domain name registrations for active .Asia domain names supporting community purposes. By placing such domain names onto the Community Reserved Names List, when a registrant forgets to (or due to whatever reason failed to) renew the domain registration, the domain name will not immediately drop back into the available pool and be able to be registered by anyone. Instead, it will be caught as a Reserved Name and not be available for general registration. The registrant may then work with DotAsia to reactivate the domain. We are publishing this DRAFT Community Reserved Names Policy (https://www.dot.asia/policies/DotAsia-CommunityReservedNames-PUBLIC-COMMENT S-DRAFT-20220304.pdf) for your feedback, comments and suggestions. This public comment period is posted on March 8, 2022, and will be open until April 8, 2022. Please send your responses and thoughts via email to comments(a)dot.asia <mailto:comments@dot.asia> . Regards, Board Secretariat DotAsia Organisation
