HONG KONG, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — “DotWorld_IDN” Registry, operated by Stable Tone Limited, today announced the launch of a Special Sunrise for the “DotWorld_IDN” new top-level-domain in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. This Special Sunrise application period will last more than 60 days, starting from September 8th and ending on November 10th, 2015.

The two-character domain extension, pronounced “Shijie” in Chinese; “Seikai” in Japanese and “Segye” in Korean means the “world” across Chinese, Japanese and Koreans alike (in meaning and in writing). Together, that encompasses an over 1.5 billion population market worldwide. “DotWorld_IDN” domains are also ideal for representing world class brands online for companies as well as the online world of individuals.

“As a pioneer of IDN, I am particularly excited about the international nature of the “DotWorld_IDN” TLD for Chinese, Japanese and Korean users around the world,” added Edmon Chung, CEO of DotAsia Organisation Ltd. “Namesphere, a sister company of DotAsia, is focused on supporting new gTLDs especially in Asia. We are thrilled to be working with the “DotWorld_IDN” registry, and to promote the “DotWorld_IDN” TLD in Asia and beyond.”

During the Special Sunrise period (Sep 8 – Nov 10, 2015), prior rights holders with a registered mark in the Trademark Clearing House (TMCH), as well as rights holders with a nationally registered trademark around the world can register “DotWorld_IDN” domain names ahead of the public launch (General Availability), which will open on November 17th, 2015, when “DotWorld_IDN” domains will be available for registration by anyone on a first-come-first-served (FCFS) basis.
