The only thing I found is a blurb on their "why CA" page: According to http://cira.ca/faq-canadian-presence-requirements/ "What are Canadian Presence Requirements?" "Canadian presence requirements are criteria that classify Registrants according to legal type (e.g., as a company or an individual). The legal type determines whether Registrants are eligible to register dot-ca domain names and ensures that Registrants have a legal connection to Canada. CIRA requires potential Registrants to establish Canadian presence requirements before granting them a dot-ca domain." "What is a legal type?" "A legal type is a category that classifies a Registrantâs legal status in Canada as defined in the document Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants. A dot-ca Registrant must conform to at least one legal type to meet CIRAâs Canadian presence requirements. The legal type categories are the following: 1. Canadian citizen 2. Permanent resident of Canada 3. Legal representative of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident 4. Corporation (Canada or Canadian province or territory) 5. Trust established in Canada 6. Partnership registered in Canada 7. Canadian unincorporated association 8. Canadian trade union 9. Canadian political party 10. Canadian educational institution 11. Canadian library, archive or museum 12. Canadian hospital 13. Her Majesty the Queen 14. Indian band recognized by the Indian Act of Canada 15. Aboriginal Peoples (individuals and groups) indigenous to Canada 16. Government or government entity in Canada 17. Trade-mark registered in Canada (by a non-Canadian owner) 18. Official marks registered in Canada" "Where can I find more information on CIRA's Canadian Presence requirements?" "For further information, please refer to the document Canadian Presence Requirements for Registrants (http://cira.ca/assets/Documents/Legal/Registrants/CPR.pdf)" HTH -- Lew Pitcher Master Codewright & JOAT-in-training | Registered Linux User #112576 http://pitcher.digitalfreehold.ca/ | GPG public key available by request ---------- Slackware - Because I know what I'm doing. ------

Official marks registered in Canada" I'm a Canadian citizen. I presume that RM is as well, or at least that he falls into one of the first three catagories. CIRA has erected a privacy boundary around WHOIS information; if the domain lessor falls into one of the first three categories, WHOIS won't release the personal information (name, address, phone #, etc) for the domain's lessor, administration, or technical contact. You have to go through a cira.ca webpage to contact the domain contact list. > I assume not Her Majesty. :) Only on alternate Saturdays ;-)
