Perhaps it is just my view, but I would think that a case such as .CA where they run mirrored servers in the US is not a sign of questionable standards, but rather the sign of a responsible ccTLD operator. Alan At 04/10/2009 04:04 PM, Garth Bruen at KnujOn wrote:

There are varying degrees and in some cases it isn't clear. ccTLDs like .NU, .LA, .MD seem to be completely controlled by agents outside the actual country. Will other ccTLDs, like .CA simply have some DNS handling in the U.S. maybe "running" was a bad word for all listed ccTLDs.
