Policyengagement
At CIRA, we promote policies that support a trusted internet in Canada and beyond. Our policy and advocacy work is informed by our expertise as the steward of .CA, DNS operator and cybersecurity services provider, and through our experiences in international internet governance and with Net Good.
Our principles
Open
The internet is premised on openness
An open internet is democratic, competitive and innovative
Trusted
The internet is facing a crisis of trust that is affecting our culture, economy and democracy
A trusted internet is private, safe and secure
People-centered
The internet should belong to the people who use it, not to a small set of concentrated interests
A people-centered internet is accessible, transparent and empowering
Community engagement
We work with the internet community to advance a trusted internet in Canada and abroad. Our partners help us advance a vision of the internet that is open, trusted and people-centered through different community-building and advocacy activities.
Between now and the end of 2025, several dialogues on the future of global internet governance will take place.
