CIRA: New rules for .ca registrations in effect today

CIRA certified registrars now processing requests for new .ca domain names

Ottawa, November 8, 2000 – Starting today, CIRA certified registrars are processing requests for new .ca domain names under the new, broader registration rules.  Under the new rules anyone meeting the Canadian Presence Requirements can register one or more .ca domain names on a first come first served basis.

“The Canadian Internet community has been asking for more flexible registration rules for the .ca domain. Today, the process for making .ca domain names accessible to more Canadians has come to fruition,” said Maureen Cubberley, Chair, CIRA Board. “Canadian business can now grow in a .ca world, not just a .com world.”
