Description of the organization's activities:
CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, is a member-based national not-for-profit best known for managing the .CA domain on behalf of all Canadians. CIRA also develops technologies and services—such as CIRA DNS Firewall and CIRA Canadian Shield—that help support its goal of building a trusted internet for Canadians. In the course of our work, CIRA develops and implements policies for the .CA domain that support Canada’s internet community and represent the .CA registry internationally.

Organization's membership or classes of membership:
CIRA's membership is comprised of over 15,000 .CA domain holders. The only prerequisite to becoming a CIRA member is obtaining a .CA domain and registering to become a member. There is no fee to become a member, other than the cost of obtaining a .CA domain. Members have an opportunity to shape the business aspects of the internet and how Canadians develop the internet as a cultural space. Members are also invited to participate in events and get involved in CIRA's corporate governance through our board of directors' election and annual general meeting.
