CIRA, the phonebook of the internet (for .CA)

Speaker: Arfi Hagi-Yusuf from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA)

At CIRA we help build Canada’s corner of the internet as the registry of .CA domains. But we also do much more than that. By nurturing the development of .CA as a go-to public resource, we push to protect its integrity for .CA domain holders and build a better internet across Canada and around the world. I’ll be sharing more about what we do at CIRA and services you can use like our Internet Performance test and Canadian Shield (our free public DNS server double checks to see if websites are malicious and if we know they are, we’ll stop you from visiting them.)

About the speaker:

Arfi is the Internet Policy Manager at the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), where she supports the policy file. A lawyer by trade, her previous role was at Meta, focused on privacy and artificial intelligence policy matters. Prior to this, she worked in academia and the non-profit sector.
