[council] IANA Report on .ca Redelegation

[Louis Touton <touton@icann.org>]

To the Names Council:

In late 1998 the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) was
formed to assume responsibility from the University of British Columbia
for operation of the .ca (Canada) country-code top-level domain.  In May
2000, CIRA, the University, and the Canadian government reached an
agreement for transition of that responsibility to CIRA.  The IANA
received a formal request for the redelegation and, under ICANN's
contract for the IANA function has provided a report recommending the
redelegation to the United States Department of Commerce.  A copy of the
IANA report is posted at
<http://www.iana.org/cctld/reports/ca-report-01dec00.htm>.

Best regards,

Louis Touton
