CIRA transitions registry system and hits a milestone.
Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) has had a big week.
First, it transitioned its entire registry system to EPP. That’s welcome news for registrars carrying .ca, and it alleviates a lot of burdens on CIRA:
With the new system and policies, CIRA is effectively able to remove itself from many day-to-day transactions. Most transactions will be handled solely by CIRA certified Registrars. To ensure Registrants, the people and organizations who hold .CA domain names, continue to receive a high level of customer service, CIRA has introduced a mandatory technical and policy accreditation process for Registrars.
Second, the country code top level domain crossed the 1.5 million registrations mark. That’s about as many domains as are registered in .us. Canadian’s have embraced the .ca country code much more so than Americans have embraced .us. .Us has struggled thanks to the early adoption of .com in the country.

is it a good result? over 500,000 .CO domains has been registered in a few weeks!
Andrew Allemann says
@ Domainers Gate – .ca is a highly restricted ccTLD only for people/biz in Canada.
Landon White says
California has always used CA in its postal destination and general spoken
in reference as a State located in the U.S.A.
So, Canada despite the Hype…
Seems like your another one REGISTRY trying to twist traditional origin reference…
YOUR WAY.
I guess you join the latest “Registry crowd” that has a Internet Identity problem.
