On the afternoon of Sunday 12th October, TLD Registry, the world leaders in Chinese domain names, warmly welcomed many prominent and influential participants in this year’s ICANN 51 Los Angeles meeting, hosting an exclusive lunch party at Beverly Hills’ Chin Chin restaurant.

Leading up to Sunday's "Welcome to Chinafornia!" party, the TLD Registry China Strike Team Crossed the southwestern United States desert all the way from Austin, Texas, to Phoenix, Arizona, and finally rolled into Beverly Hills in style in the original and first-ever “Chinese Domainmobile.”

The location of the restaurant in the ritzy Beverly Hills neighborhood set the tone for a wonderful afternoon of hand-shaking, food-eating, and wine-and-beer-sipping. Our 70 guests attended to experience the sounds of a traditional Chinese music trio, a surprise lion dance performance throughout the restaurant, and to take home a framed original of their own personalized Chinese name, ink-brushed on tasteful rice paper by our professional Chinese calligrapher, Master Joyce Lin.

Our partners at .CLUB Domains co-hosted the party, and we are confident that this afternoon’s festivities have provided a nice preface to the heavy schedule of ICANN’s agenda, in terms of awareness and opportunity in both IDNs and new gTLDs (Chinese script is fully supported by the world's favorite ASCII new gTLD, .CLUB).

We are honored and excited that such influential leaders in the domain industry attended our lunch party to kick off what was a very busy week at ICANN 51 Los Angeles!
