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.”
