Many country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) -- .ca, .us, .au and roughly 250 others -- restrict who may register a domain, requiring some form of local presence: citizenship, permanent residency, local incorporation, or a substitute path such as a national trademark. Each registry publishes its own eligibility policy in its own format (CIRA's page for .ca, NTIA's policy document for .us, auDA's rules document for .au), and no cross-registry table exists comparing them. Each record is one eligibility category a registry recognizes, with the specific condition quoted verbatim from the registry's own policy, plus our label for what kind of connection to the country that category actually asks for -- which is the axis a reader compares on. Answers 'can I register a .ca domain if I am not Canadian', 'what counts as US nexus for a .us domain', 'does an Australian trademark qualify me for a .au domain'. Starting slice: three registries (Canada, United States, Australia); scaling requires repeating the fetch-and-confirm process per additional registry, which is the maintenance burden that made a comprehensive cross-reference uneconomic to keep current by hand.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position
Registry policy documents cited for their facts (eligibility conditions), not reproduced in full
Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
