It was restricted to parents who had received their education in English 
IN QUEBEC under the original provisions of Bill 101. The Canadian Charter,
when it came into effect in 1982, effectively provided for parents educated
in English IN CANADA to have access. This led to a court challenge to Bill 101
(if memory serves) which led to one or two of the restrictions in Bill 101 
being declared 'unconstitutional' and then ammended - under Claude Ryan, i
think.

It was, and is, uduly oppressive. Now Canadians who were not educated in
in English IN CANADA are still denied access.

(I think you meant the French culture in Quebec - not "your culture")

I agree. There are many "positive" steps that can and have been taken to
encourage the use of French in Quebec. Measures intended to suppress the
use of other languages, force people into French schools, outlaw commercial
signs in other languages and other repressive infringements on fundamental
human freedoms and dignity are absolutely reprehensible!

The federal government won't touch it with a barge pole.

Ask your M.P. what he/she is going to do about it, would you?

Who is your M.P.?

You mentioned that a Canadian moving into Quebec can only send his or her
children to English school in Quebec if one of the parents was educated in
English in Canada. Is this something new? I moved from Montreal to Europe in
1986 and when I left Quebec, the rule restricted access to English schools in
Quebec unless one of the childs parents had been educated in English - in
Quebec-!

 This seemed unduly oppressive and, arguments for the protection of the
French language notwithstanding, discriminatory against Canadians who had not
grown up in Quebec.

 When I left Quebec, I went to live in a Communist country. When I explained
some of the 'language laws' in Quebec, people living under a Communist regime
were totally incredulous that such regulation would be accepted in the 'free'
world.

 The Quebec Government was sent a communique from an agency of the United
Nations asking for an explanation of the 'repressive measures' being enforced
in the province in the name of protecting the French language.
I too believe in encouraging respect and development of your culture, but
never at the expense of another culture.

dropping the 'ltd' would have been my choice if I was doing the application,
which was the case when I applied for the alternate under .COM.

I had tried 'medhat' before I read the conventions...since this seems to
be an acceptable abbreviation.  At least the post office doesn't seem to have
a problem with it.

I suppose I should take this up with the manager and see if he wants to get

The Route-Addr attacks. You feel weaker ...

There is one small wee problem with this. Every recipient MTA in the
wimsey.XXX.bc.ca domain(s) has to ensure it can recognize it's incoming
local mail in all of the above incantations.

It's hard enough getting sendmail to deal with *one* domain right, let
alone four!

Some population figures from the 1990 Britannica World Data volume:

   Canada (1989)            26,189,000

So the population of Canada is less than twice that of The
Netherlands.  It may be true that Canada needs to split its
top-level domain and The Netherlands doesn't, but this hardly
seems obvious from the population figures.

What I explicitly meant to state was that I don't have accurate info

John has now published the CA Domain Committee membership, so
presumably information on future additions will also be posted here.

Unless I completely misunderstand the committee discussions of the
last (almost) year, John has asked the committee to provide useful
input towards policy decisions he must make.  As committee members,
we generally do our best to represent the interests of the community
that we are on the committee to represent (circular sentence).  Of
course, we do our best to try and rationally consider all arguments
presented, even those we may not particularily agree with.

Since I'm supposed to be representing the UUCP Community, I can only
presume that you're there to represent UUNET Canada and it's customers.

I've seen you present some interesting concepts.  If you really believe
what I've seen you suggest, would it not be appropriate to represent
these to the committee and hence to the Registrar?  I've already 1/2
drafted something, but now that you're on the committee, wouldn't it
make more sense for the suggestions to come from the actual proponent?

>Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.  I have no desire to don one.

Under .ca? One that *I* can think of :-)

So what was the reasoning behind univ.prov.ca? Doesn't this fly in the face
of getting a second level registration if your scope covers more than
one province? Perhaps the .CA name Czars know more about my place of employment
than I do, but last time *I* looked we did course delivery on-site in Alberta
as well as B.C.  And then there is Athabasca University which does course
delivery via local tutors in BC and Alberta (at the least), and whose mandate
is distance education course delivery throughout the entire country. And I'm
sure Waterloo has correspondence students outside of Ontario.

BTW - the .CA master nameserver will be renamed to relay.cdnnet.vancouver.bc.ca
to conform with the new guidelines, won't it?

Updates should be handled by the committee member who originally
processed your application, but that's not too terribly rigid.
I'll gladly ensure that requested CA updates are handled expediently,
and yes, the above address will get it done.

In Lawrence's specific instance, I quite by chance realized that
his contact info was outdated, and being in possession of the
correct info arranged such update a month or so ago.  I'll privately
send him a copy of his current registration form.

Note that when you request an update, it's a lot less work for the
parties involved (and hence is processed more quickly) if you use
your existing CA registration form and make the requested changes,
sending them in intact.

The pending CA Domain Introduction file contains instructions on
the use of a number of methods whereby anyone can obtain a current
copy of any existing CA subdomain registration.
