The CIRA email was just sent this weekend. I can assure you that we are
all over this, and that we have a dedicated team hashing out details.
Having just been accreditted for .ca Thursday, and having the CIRA email
go out Saturday (right after our largest system maintenance window to
date), we haven't had time to *finalize* details for release.
I appreciate your concerns, the CIRA mail is generating lots of interest,
concerns, and questions. I would assure your customers that you will be
able to handle their registrations.
I expect once we are all in the office together tomorrow, we will be able
to finalize some details and arm you with some better data.
I can tell you we are planning on being present in this market, and that
we will extend our RSPs access as soon as possible.
I hope this helps -
Regards,
sA
Scott Allan
Director, OpenSRS
