Just wondering who asked them to protect Canada's businesses and to get into cyber security.
I thought we asked them to a registrar!!
God help us
Yep, I've been bitching about CIRA stepping out of their lane for years...
For one, why should a monopoly be allowed to use profits from said monopoly to develop new products to compete against legitimate Canadian businesses with that very unfair advantage of all that free money?
Two, if any products/services were to be created using the profits from the registry (which already should be disallowed due to the previous statement), then at least those services/products should be 100% free to all .CA holders as clearly they are the ones who funded and continue to fund that development and marketing of those products.

Back on topic for a second...
The new logo implies cira is branching out in numerous directions.
The old logo pretty well said domains and internet

I believe the mandate/mission statement was changed in last year's annual general meeting. I was the only one who voted against it if I remember correctly. The mission statement is now:

It's important to be a CIRA member and to take part in the meetings and elections...
According to CIRA the diversity fits the mandate and secures the future of being a registry, as revenues in that area are not growing so much anymore (supposedly in line with other ccTLDs, but the ones they are comparing .CA too are usually larger and not restricted.

I rather they focus on domains too, but they do offer some of their cyber security services for free (i.e. "CIRA Canadian Shield"). I haven't tried it out, or have any clue what it's worth though. People can learn more about it here: https://www.cira.ca/cybersecurity-services/canadian-shield
And they offer a "Free course on Cybersecurity practices for remote workers":
https://www.cira.ca/resources/cybersecurity/free-course-remote-workers
And here you can find all their "cybersecurity services": https://www.cira.ca/cybersecurity-services
It's not quite clear what the prices are for their paid services.

Didn't they have a record year last year, in terms of .CA registrations? There are currently 3,143,835 .CA domains registered, which any of us can check at any time on CIRA's website (i.e. the number shows in the bottom right corner of their website - see below). I assumed they were doing great with .CA revenue.
