Following our announcement of final contracing with ICANN in Beijing on September 10th, the essential new Chinese TLDs are making their way though the next mandatory stages.

Today at the New gTLD Roadshow in Taipei, TLD Registry's Pinky Brand announced that our next major milestone, Pre-Delegation Testing, will begin on November 4.

Pinky also announced that Dot Chinese Online and Dot Chinese Website integration into the Trademark Clearinghouse has begun .

Both of our Chinese TLDs are considered 'low risk' as it relates to ICANN's 'Name Collision' question. However we are still reliant on ICANN in understanding when our TLDs will be delegated by IANA, and thus the timing of our Sunrise, Land Rush and General Registration periods.

Once we have achieved delegation into the global DNS root, we may issue a mandatory 30-day notice for our Sunrise period. At that time we’ll have a clear set of dates to announce.

According to current estimates, we should be able to achieve our Sunrise in January 2014, our Landrush in March and our General Availability in April!

继9月10日在北京与ICANN签署了“注册局协议”之后， 域通联达又在中文顶级域名的道路上迈出了新的一步。

域通联达的注册商关系总监薄平凯先生在参加新顶级域名路演大会首站台北站的会议中宣布，“.在线”和“.中文网”的预授权技术测试将在11月4日开始。 而且这两项中文顶级域名的商标信息交换验证也正在进行中。
依照ICANN关于域名冲突的规定，“.在线”和“.中文网” 都属于“低风险”域名类。接下来我们将根据ICANN和IANA的测试进程来制定优先期、抢注期和正常注册期的具体启动时间。
在“.在线”和“.中文网”的中文顶级域名加入国际互联网号码分配局系统后， 我们将可能在优先期开始的约三十天前发出正式的通知。 到那时，其他上线日期也会最终确定。
根据目前的情况看， 我们们有望在2014年1月开始优先期注册。 3月预计开始抢注期。而对大众开放的正常注册期则可能是明年的4月。
