CIRA Registrant Profiles
CIRA uses ‘Registrant Profiles’ for grouping domains owned by registrant. If, for example, one registrant orders a number of domain names, CIRA specifies that we process each of the domains with the Registrant ID number, as opposed to including full contact information with each order. NOTE: These profiles are not the same as OpenSRS profiles. The OpenSRS profile allows you to group “unrelated” domains together. The OpenSRS profile allows the administrator to manage domains which have different admin and tech contacts through one interface. The CIRA registrant profile requires that all the domains in the profile ALWAYS have the same admin and tech contact information. For every .ca domain, there is both a CIRA profile AND an OpenSRS profile. Although you can structure the CIRA profile and OpenSRS differently, it is best to keep the same profile structure. For example, given the scenario where: - Jane Doe has two domains for her personal use: jdoe.ca and janedoe.ca. Jane is the admin and technical contact for the domains jdoe.ca and janedoe.ca. - Jane also has a group of friends who have an informal fitness club, and she administers the domain befit.ca for them, but the technical contact for is a webhosting firm that the club has hired. In this case, the profiles for the domains should be: - CIRA Profile A for domains jdoe.ca and janedoe.ca where registrant name is "Jane Doe". Jane Doe would be listed as both the admin and tech contact. - CIRA Profile B for domain befit.ca where registrant name is "Jane Doe o/a The Fitness Gang". Jane Doe would be listed as the admin and the web hosting company as the tech contact. Similarly there should be two OpenSRS profiles to match the two CIRA Profiles.
