It is also the first generic top-level domain name dispute resolution institution in Asia, providing general dispute resolution services related to top-level domain names ( .com, .org, .biz, .net, etc. ) since 2002.

Each office provides dispute resolution services related to country and region top-level domain names ( .cn, .中国, .hk, .香港, .my, .kr and .한국 ).
