Rules for thee, but not for me? (4.Viewing)

Why does cira.ca appear to get a 2050 expiry when even gc.ca does not?

CIRA’s General Registration Rules say:

“An Applicant may select a registration period of 1 to 10 years”
“A renewal of a Registration Period in the CIRA Registry may be made, at any time, for a period of 1 to 10 years,”
“provided that in no event shall the total Registration Period for the Domain Name Registration exceed 10 years.”
“Any renewal for a longer period shall be automatically reduced to 10 years”

Yet cira.ca shows an expiry of 2050-02-05.

If CIRA’s answer is that some internal or registry-controlled names are treated differently, fine. Then where is that exception publicly spelled out?



And if even gc.ca does not appear to get that treatment, why does cira.ca?

That is the real question.

The Alpha makes the rules, that's just how it works.

The domain ca-servers.ca used by .ca's authoritative nameservers has the same privilege.
