Sponsor Community Project (SCP) Funds
Background
DotAsia is committed to its mandate of promoting Internet development and adoption in Asia Pacific. To dedicate a portion of the proceeds from .ASIA domain registry operations directly for community projects, the SCP process was put in place in 2008 upon the successful completion of the launch of the .ASIA Registry and structured to foster partnership with Sponsor Members of DotAsia. In 2024, discussions from the Advisory Council led to the development of the concept of a Common Pool of SCP Funds that can be utilized by any Member and the SCP program is extended to support projects sponsored by Sponsor Members as well as Co-Sponsor Members of DotAsia. This document describes the process for the application of funds for SCPs.
SCP Funds
SCP Funds are accrued for each regular .ASIA domain registration and renewal (i.e. promotional registrations not included) for which the associated Registrant corresponds with a DotAsia Sponsor Member cc-locality.
SCP Funds allocated for a particular Sponsor Member cc-locality expires after 3 years and will be reallocated into a Common Pool. SCP Funds allocated into the Common Pool expires after an additional 3 years and will be reallocated for DotAsia community projects (in particular to the DotAsia Foundation: IRD 91/12820).
Available SCP funds will be reported annually (end of year on Dec 31) to DotAsia Members, and available upon request by Members.
