The
Canadian Internet Registration Authority
(CIRA) (French: Authorité canadienne pour les
enregistrements Internet ACEI) is a non-profit Canadian
corporation
that is responsible for operating the .ca
country code top-level
domain. It was incorporated in 1998 and assumed operation of .ca on December 1st, 2000 from the
University of
British Columbia
. CIRA is based in the national capital
Ottawa,
Ontario
.
Canadian federal departments and agencies do not, as a rule,
register directly under the .ca domain name but register their
domain names in the gc.ca sub-domain with the Department of
Public Works
and Government Services Canada registry that is accessible at
registry.gc.ca.
In 2009, CIRA rolls out the
DNSSEC testbed.
