		can.domain newsgroup <> candom mailing list
		-------------------------------------------

   Acting on requests to impliment a mechanism to ensure that those without
   access to News can fully participate in can.domain, I've installed a bi-
   directional news<>mail gateway for the can.domain newsgroup.

   You are _strongly_ encouraged to obtain this newsgroup via USENET NEWS
   mechanisms vrs mail.  Anyone having difficulty arranging a news feed for
   this newsgroup is welcome to email the undersigned and I'll do my best
   to help.  We also offer all required software in source code form via
   anonymous FTP and UUCP, as do many archive sites.  If, after having
   explored all options, you are still unable to receive can.domain as
   news, you may subscribe to the mailing list.
   
   The can.domain newsgroup is bi-directionally gated to a companion mailing
   list, so anyone not having access to NEWS but who does have a UUCP or
   Internet mail feed can still participate fully using email.  Mailing
   list subscribers should send their subscription request to:
		candom-request@xenitec.on.ca
   including a valid, reacheable email address in the message body:

	Add: your_logname@site.do.main  -or-
	Add: your_logname%your.obscure.subdomain@everyone.can.reach.here
	Add: up!stream!yoursite!your_logname

   Examples:
	Add: edhew@xenitec.on.ca
	Add: edhew%xenitec.on.ca@uunet.ca
	Add: ....!uunet.ca!xenitec!edhew

   Inclusion of an alternative working bang-path relative to a well know
   major functional site might prove beneficial.  Deletions are handled
   the same way, simply substitute "Delete:" for "Add:", ensuring that
   you use the exact same address you subscribed with.  If you don't receive
   an acknowledgement within a few days, check your routing and try a test
   message via xenitec.on.ca back to your host.  In such cases, it's likely
   that someone, somewhere, is bouncing mail replies to you (and would do
   the same with mailing list traffic), and you'll want to resolve your
   connectivity problem before trying to subscribe again.  Mailing list
   subscriptions are free, subject to whatever arrangements you may have
   with the site(s) feeding you.
   
   Should you receive no response or experience a sudden and prolonged
   drop to zero volume on the mailing list, this indicates that we are
   no longer able to find a working route to your site.  We loose a
   handful of subscribers on various mailing lists this way each month.
   If this happens to you, please email us your known working bang-path
   relative to a major site.

   Mailing list administrivia should be sent to:
		candom-admin@xenitec.on.ca
   Note that use of the "-admin" address for subscription and deletion
   requests will likely result in a processing delay.  This address is
   for administrative correspondence only.

   Postings to be gated to the newsgroup should be addressed to:
		candom@xenitec.on.ca
   and they will be automagically injected to the newsgroup.  Of course,
   all newsgroup articles will be expanded to the mailing list.

   What's in the newsgroup and mailing_list:
   
   can.domain:  Discussion of policies and procedures relevant to
		registration under the .CA domain, and the new technologies
		that might impact the use of the name space and supporting
		infrastructure.  This newsgroup also provides the CA Domain
		Registry Committee with the opportunity to interact with
		the Canadian USENET community to seek consensus on
		desireable and technically feasible policies respecting the
		use of the CA namespace.

		The CA Domain Introductory materials, Application form,
		and various informational articles will be periodically
		posted to can.domain.  New .CA subdomain registrations will
		be posted as they are approved.
