Hi just a quick question to see if i've totally *missed the point* about
registering a .ca domain
http://www.opensrs.org/ca/index2.shtml says that CIRA
will allow anyone living or doing business *in* Canada to register an
unlimited number of .ca domain names
and http://www.cira.ca/en/fqa.html#q45 says that
When the new rules come into effect, any qualifying individual or
organization will be able to register an *unlimited* number of .ca Domain
Names
this seems to imply that they (CIRA) want to keep .ca domains for the
Canadians
we tried to register a .ca domain using v2.21 but stopped when asked to
prove our client was Canadian -
Please note that by CIRA request, you must have a presence in Canada in
order to qualify for a .CA domain. This means that at least one of your
contacts must be located in Canada
My question therefore is - are there any rules that would allow CIRA to
*close down a website / domain* that was registered to a Canadian but
clearly was being used (sub-let) by a non-Canadian company
if the answer is - No they can't shut it down
can somebody please give me the address of a Canadian mail-drop company, so
that our client can register their required domains to a Canadian address,
which can then forward the ownership documents & any other snail mail to
their "foreign" company (presumably these type of mail-drop companies exist
in Canada)
if the answer is Yes -
why are they allowing Canadians to register an unlimited number of domains
that can be sold for a massive profit as soon as an International Court bans
CIRA from making such jingoistic restrictions
i thought The Internet was supposed to open up a whole new world of equality
for everybody not keep the old one for those more equal than the others.
