In 2006, the .cm Registry set up a wild card DNS record for all unregistered .cm domains, in partnership with Canadian domain investor Kevin Ham. This arrangement redirected traffic on all unregistered domains to a parking page with PPC ads, agoga.com. Subsequent .CM auctions generated millions of dollars in revenues. McAfee designated .cm as the riskiest namespace with 36.7% of .cm websites posing a security risk to web users.<ref name="dotafrica"></ref>

Cameroon Telecommunications, or CAMTEL, was the registry operator and sponsor organization that managed and administered the .cm ccTLD for Cameroon until 2010.[1]

Reform and Redelegation Efforts[edit | edit source]

In December 2010, the government of Cameroon passed Law No. 2010/13, which among other things placed management of the .cm ccTLD in the hands of the Agence Nationale des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (ANTIC) (English: National Agency for Information and Communication Technologies).[2].
