.CA Domain Name Registrations Reach 1 Million Milestone
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) announced today that 1 million .ca domain names have been registered, indicating the increasing popularity of .ca domain name registrations. To register a .ca domain name, one must satisfy the Canadian Presence Requirements. The owner of a Canadian registered trade-mark, for example, would qualify to register a .ca domain name.
A blog posting of a .ca Registrar on Monday of this week indicated that the 1 million .ca domain registration mark had already been surpassed but had subsequently fallen slightly below the mark due to the number of domain expirations (which often exceed new registrations after the weekend.)
On a related note, a member of the Province of Quebec’s National Assembly is reported to have started a petition for ICANN to create a .qc domain name extension, to provide a distinct Quebec identity on the internet.
