The document outlines the history and development of country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) for Asia. It notes that in 2004, ICANN approved .Asia as a ccTLD for the region. The timeline then discusses key events in the launch and adoption of .Asia domains from 2006-2008, including a sunrise period in 2007, a landrush period in early 2008, and the official go-live of .Asia in March 2008.
