Dot-ca privacy plan a Canadian compromise by Michael Geist, Toronto Star (Nov 22) [registration required] - Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), the agency that manages Canada's dot-ca domain, is re-evaluating its policy on openness of information about domain-name registration. "... a typical whois entry included the domain name itself, the name of the registrant, and comprehensive contact information including postal address, phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail addresses." CIRA is proposing to continue to collect all information but not reveal it publicly unless the registrant gives permission.
