I don't think I got as many copies of the email as I should, given my being technical contact of a fair number of domains. http://www.cira.ca/en/urges.html --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: <http://russell.flora.org/work/> Elect Joan Russow in Okanagan-Coquihalla <http://www.voterussow.org/> Elect Ralph Nader for U.S. President! <http://www.votenader.org/> Elect Mark Coakley in Ancaster-Dundas-.. <http://www.mark-coakley.com/> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2000 07:14:03 -0700 From: Michael Gurstein <gurstein@techbc.ca> Reply-To: cpi-ua@vcn.bc.ca To: cpi-ua@vcn.bc.ca Subject: [CPI-UA]: Fw: CIRA Urges .ca Domain Name Holders ----- Original Message ----- From: <members@canarie.ca> Sent: Monday, August 28, 2000 6:21 AM Subject: CIRA Urges .ca Domain Name Holders > To Update Their Contact Information > ************************************* > Sender: owner-members@canarie.ca > Precedence: bulk > > CIRA Urges .ca Domain Name Holders To Update Their Contact Information > Over 5,000 .ca registrants in danger of losing their domain names > > Ottawa, August 24, 2000 - More than 28,000 of the 180,000 administrative and > technical contacts, whose information is contained in the .ca Registry, are > unreachable via e-mail, according to the University of British Columbia, the > current .ca Registry administrator. Failure to update their contact > information in the .ca Registry may result in Registrants losing their .ca > Domain Name. UBC estimates that more than 5,000 .ca Web sites could be > affected. > > "Existing .ca Registrants will be required to pre-register their Domain Name > if they wish to retain it after CIRA takes over operational control of the > Registry," said Maureen Cubberley, President, CIRA Board. "The procedures > for Registrants to pre-register their existing Domain Names in the CIRA > Registry will be communicated via the administrative contact's e-mail > addresses listed in their registration record. Therefore it is extremely > important that their contact information be updated." > > Those .ca Domain Names that are not pre-registered before the Operational > Transfer Date of the .ca Registry, later this fall, will not be included in > the CIRA .ca Registry and will cease to function. Additionally, these Domain > Names will be available for registration by other users after a grace > period. > > Starting Monday, August 8, 2000, UBC sent approximately 180,000 e-mail > messages to validate the e-mail addresses of the administrative and > technical contacts for all currently registered .ca Domain Names. UBC is > trying to isolate administrative and technical contacts whose e-mail > addresses are no longer valid. > > "Approximately 15% of the 180,000 test e-mail messages were undeliverable," > said Bernard Turcotte, Project Manager, CIRA. "UBC will try to reach these > contacts through other means such as the postal mail to advise them of the > pressing need to update the contact information contained in their current > .ca registration." > > If you have a .ca Domain Name, and your administrative contact has not > received the test e-mail, please go to www.cdnnet.ca/update.html and update > your contact information. > > About CIRA > > CIRA is the Canadian Internet Registration Authority. It is a not-for-profit > organization mandated to operate the .ca top-level domain. As a Registry, > CIRA is responsible for setting policy managing and operating the .ca domain > database and registering domain names. > > On June 5, CIRA, the University of British Columbia and the Government of > Canada announced that they had reached agreement on the terms under which > CIRA would assume responsibility for the top-level .ca Registry. The > transfer from UBC will give the not-for-profit CIRA complete responsibility > for managing the .ca domain. > > About CIRA's upcoming announcements > > Over the next few months, during the transfer of the .ca Registry, CIRA will > be sending a number of news releases and advisories. You can expect > announcements on: 1) the Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants; 2) > the beginning of the Pre-transfer Registration Period; 3) the listing of the > new rules for Registration; 4) the Alternate Dispute Resolution process; and > 5) the Operational Transfer of the Registry. > > For more information on this announcement or any upcoming announcements or > to arrange interviews, please contact: > > James Hale > Ken Communications and Public Affairs > jhale@kencommunications.com > (613) 230-9009 > > > > > > > **************************************************************************** > ********** > TO SUBSCRIBE - send an e-mail message to majordomo@canarie.ca. > The text of the message should say only: subscribe distribution > > TO UNSUBSCRIBE - send an e-mail message to majordomo@canarie.ca. > The text of the message should say only: unsubscribe distribution <your > e-mail address> > **************************************************************************** > ********** > ___________________________________________________________ hosted by Vancouver Community Network http://www.vcn.bc.ca
