- I've had a number of people convince me that can.domain can serve
- a useful purpose in bringing current .CA domain committee policies
- to the eyes of the readership, and to afford that readership with
- an easy mechanism for making their opinions directly available to
- all within the committee who care to look. If my recent email is
- any indication, we can look forward to some lively and very important
- discussions. Input from the grass roots, including the UUCP part of
- Canadian networking, can and should be quite useful in forming future
- directions for the utilization of the .CA namespace.
-
- I can add a couple of interesting recent developments.
-
- I've been asked by the head of the .CA domain committee to establish
- and operate a bi-directionally gated mailing list for the benefit of
- those without access to USENET News in some form. I'll build it once
- can.domain actually exists and post the details therein.
-
- Stuart's proposal stated:
-
- : It is hoped that new .CA subdomain registrations will be posted
- : as they are approved.
-
- I'm pleased to confirm that these will indeed be available and
- posted on approval.
