LandRush period - How do you play the GAME.

[Charley]

I have been on one landrush event and I didn't get to register the gems or gold mines which everyone would probably know. I would like to know how you guys play the landrush game and get those premium domains.

Is there some kind of a preplan that needs to be done whilst the landrush begins or any thing else to be considered?

Post your suggestions and opinions here.

All I know is that I dont want to miss out on .asia - hopefully I can snag 1 or 2 decent names - but Im in the same boat - I would love to hear peoples strategies for regging names durring landrush.

i wouldn't be surprised if there is some level of pre-registration process. other than that, i'm guessing whoever is first to the server to lock a domain for who-is processing has won the race for any domain. distance and routing/hubs may play a significant role in this,...other than that, i'm about at the same point where you guys are....

Any insight as to when .asia is going to be released?

In .EU's case companies were able to register CompanyName.eu before everyone else could register domains. A lot of people just created (temporary) businesses with the name they wanted to register. Perhaps .asia works the same way.

Preregister your chosen names at every registrar you can find that accepts preregistrations.

I thought that Asia was going to be restricted to residents of the region?

Am I wrong in this assumption?

As there is no effective equivalent to the European Union in Asia, it is expected that registrants of .ASIA domain names will need to have a presence in one of the 73 countries defined by ICANN as being in the Asia/Australia/Pacific region. This region currently encompasses a large geographical area from Turkey through the Middle East and India (taking in certain ex Eastern Bloc countries such as Tajikistan) to China, Japan, Southeast Asia and Australia. Broadly speaking it appears therefore that a presence anywhere other than Europe, North and South America, Africa and Russia will be sufficient to register a .ASIA domain name.
