Ok,
It seems the name also exists on another provincial level. Why did the
system let her register it just the same :o( It's been a dead site for
sometime, however. Looks like it'll probably get dumped in the switch in
which case the .ca should become available (there are no others)?
Now, can someone advise whether we need to register her .on.ca in the
interim? It's not a very common name, there shouldn't be too much chance
that someone else will get the .ca However, I am unclear about when to
resubmit/ if the registry will contact us, etc... I can't grasp what they
mean with the dates here:
Also, how much will Tucows charge us in turn?
Quoted from CIRA FAQs-----------------------------
Therefore, a registration, which is not available for upgrade due to a
conflicting domain name prior to December 1, 2000, may be available for
upgrade after then.
CIRA will therefore allow the upgrading of registrations after December 1,
2000 according to the same eligibility criteria. However, since existing .ca
domain names are reserved until January 31, 2001, upgrade requests that were
initially rejected due to a conflict will not be reconsidered until then.
A registrant who wishes to request an upgrade of its domain name
registration after December 1, 2000 should cause its registrar to submit an
Upgrade Request to CIRA for the specific domain name; the registrar will be
charged a 1$ processing fee.
