Asia comes after the surge in IDN registrations in Asia, and I expected an IDN domain registry. Unfortunately, .Asia domain names are pure ASCII and an IDN domain registry for .Asia is a second thought and planned for the future.

why do you need idn for .asia? asians talk to each other in english. The japanese talk to the indians in english. The arabs talk to the chinese in english.
