What is the .asia auction process?
If there have been other applications for the .asia domains that you applied for during the Landrush period, it will be entered into an auction after 12th March 2008. Only yourself and the other applicants for the domain will be able to bid on this auction.
Pool.com has been chosen by the dotAsia registry as their Auction Partner for auctions arising from the .asia Sunrise and Landrush processes.
As auction partner, Pool.com will provide a comprehensive auction platform. To avoid rushes and 'sniping' at the end of auctions, Pool.com's auction platform will allow for automatic extension of auction end time should activities arise near the closing of an auction. This is consistent with .Asia's approach of ensuring a stable and orderly launch of the registry.
