The General Administration of Sport (GAS) provided the CNNIC with a full list of China's Olympic team prior to the Games' opening on August 8, and had registered all available domain names for athletes in Chinese characters and in Pinyin. China's sport authority has banned the issuing of Internet domain names based on the country's Olympic gold medal-winning athletes to anyone but the medalists themselves, according to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). The current blocking may be related to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Moonlinght tells us more about the Olympic angle: If the goal is to make it less convenient (though by no means impossible) for Chinese to register non-Chinese domain names, this may represent an effort to keep Chinese-published material under home control.
Possible reasons? Efforts to prevent people from registering Olympic winners' names, or the hope that Chinese users will register domains in China. GoDaddy, the world's leading domain name registrar, is inaccessible in China, writes Moonlight Blog.
