I can see a number of these getting picked up - there a few others I'm surprised they accepted the high reserve and can't see selling because of it. What do you think?

 

[cabotower]

crediton is an ontario place name i regd with a few others not really expecting cira to approve it and getting surprised when it did.that one will be going back during the grace period.with almost 5 billion results on a google search on credit speaks for itself.with options like ontario and online,i'm sure there's a place for it.

 

[cabotower]

for some of the place names i regd i could find no online presence of any kind.for others i did eventually find xxxxx.mb.ca and the like.and for others they are using townofxxxxx.com.if they are not using an obviously available .ca it should be allowed to be regd by anyone.

I agree, but my theory is that it was registered old school "xxxxx.mb.ca" back in the day, then later dropped, but the CIRA still retains an image of the old domain registration.

 

[cabotower]

so what is the next step,do i wait for the registrar or cira to contact me or should i contact them?i started getting into this mess on feb 13.

 

[cabotower]

just finished talking with gd.rep was a great guy.got a refund for crediton.ca,no problem.anything else we can help you with today?well yes,i do have 10 domains that i don't have dns access to.after a short hold-yes sir we'll push these domains into your account,they should be there in 6-8 hours,some of them are partially pushed already.btw sir,these are great names.thank you rep,i think so.that all sounds great but does anybody think CIRA will allow any of this to happen?even if it does i think CIRA will just yank them back.i'll believe it when it happens.

 

[cabotower]

24 hrs later,nothing.call no2.hello,godaddy,how are you today?frustrated.oh that's too bad....45 minutes later,we don't have an answer for you today,maybe by friday,bye and please fill out the survey regarding my performance.

Does anyone have a contact at CIRA or a Registrar with a inside man that can ask about the future of the TBR Results?

I have asked a few people, and as of right now, this may have gone the way of the Dodo and they have no idea if it will ever be reinstituted. I thought I had an answer from the CIRA, but they naturally misunderstood and when I specifically asked about the "TBR Results" that the Registars download and then post, the guy went totally silent.

If the TBR Results are no longer going to be part of the weekly run, then that sucks hard, as I have been following the results for-freaking-ever. I think I have them downloaded and saved for like 8 years or so.

 

[cabotower]

isn't that the new list on the site,for feb 20,27. including aba.ca and ban.ca

Nope, the run doesn't take place until Feb 20.

And in case you're confused, I am referring to the TBR RESULTS (what was selected each week) and not the Expired List.

Everyone either has nothing or just their own selections, and the CIRA has been silent on the subject, with some registrars stating the the CIRA has no plans to provide one:

https://www.sibername.com/tbr/results.php

https://www.myid.ca/tbr/bidding.php?act=tbr_result_time

Who knows, maybe they're trying to hide the fact that MyID owns the TBR.

I got a fairly unintelligible response to my own questions. I'll share it tomorrow.

I'm sure they'll get around to it. Its trivial to do, especially for a registrar. It just may not be down to the nano-second like before, so it wont be a precise order of success, but whois shows to the second.

 

[DomainRecap]

I'm sure they'll get around to it. Its trivial to do, especially for a registrar.

I've talked to registrars at length about this previously (like years ago), and the way I understood it, is that at the very end of the TBR selection period, the CIRA would pump out a data set with all the TBR selections on it, complete with time and registrar name, and if a registrar wanted to get it, they would download it or forever hold their peace - it did not stay resident.

So as far as I have been able to find out, the TBR Results everyone posts were a product of the CIRA and made available to participating registrars, and while there may be alternative means (like querying the WHOIS) this "easy" method is what I am referring to, and is apparently what the CIRA will not be providing anymore.

It's probably similar to my collection of "non-answers".

We're lucky the CIRA doesn't run the Olympics or the Oscars...

"Oh I'm sure somebody won something.. don't worry about that, it's not important".

 

[cabotower]

anyone get an email survey from cira? they're going to launch a cybersecurity service to protect us all.

 

[DomainRecap]

they're going to launch a cybersecurity service to protect us all.

Yeah, they're launching more value-added services than my local pimp, but they can't even code a TBR Results set, something I could do in my sleep.

AND, they build these extra services with your money. And then they charge you to use them. If they built it with your money, shouldn't it be free????

They took most of those away from me last week.

Seems they are still allowing people to register those names

It appears CIRA has passed the initial task of vetting registrants of reserved domains to the registrar, so technically, its your registrar that has the issue. The more times they get stuck reversing charges, the more likely they'll get around to fixing it. What they need to be doing is queing the order in their system until they get the documentation required to proceed. Instead they are just firing off the registration request...
