issue(A)
Whether Government issues a formal certificate as
ccTLD manager to JPRS ?
• If government issues formal certificate, it is very helpful to persuade
ICANN that JPRS is formally a delegee in the nation.
but
• It is sometimes difficult for government to issue certificate for a
private company
therefore
• Option 1 : JPNIC and JPRS communicate with government to get
verbal recognition of the status of JPRS as a delegee
• Option 2 : ?????

issue(B)(C)
Whether trilateral agreement be signed?
How ICANN recognizes Government’s endorsements
• If trilateral agreement is signed, it is absolutely OK.
but
• It is sometimes difficult for government to have a contract with a
private company
therefore
• Option 1 : JPNIC and JPRS have a bilateral contract. And
Government endorses the contract by giving signature on it with
optional comments.
• Option 2 : JPNIC and JPRS have a bilateral contract. And
Government just reports to ICANN that “Government recognizes
and endorses the contract.”
• Option 3 : JPNIC and JPRS have a bilateral contract. And
Government does nothing in response to ICANN’s query. This may
mean implicit endorsement.

Basic Principles of Management and
Administration of .JP Top Level Domain
Since its beginning…JPNIC has played roles for
• Top priority on the interest of the Internet
community in Japan
– .JP serves for the community
• reliable and stable name services
• Good relationship with JPG
• Model ccTLD Sponsorship Agreement was
modified to reflect these principles

Japan Registry Service
ccTLD Sponsorship Agreement (.JP)
• Different from the Model Sponsorship Agreement…
– Respecting achievements made by the Internet community in
Japan, the Agreement clarifies the roles of JPNIC and JPG in
the management and administration of .JP top level domain
– ICANN inquires to JPG whether it is Japanese Internet
community’s consensus that JPRS would be the Sponsoring
Organization for .JP top level domain
= > Endorsement from JPG to ICANN （2002.1.30）
– Based on the November 9 Memorandum executed by and
between JPRS and JPNIC, JPNIC and JPG jointly ensure the
public interest of the .JP top level domain management and
administration
= > Consultation process of JPNIC and JPG

and JPRS

level domain
• On behalf of the Internet community in Japan, JPNIC, in
consultation with JPG, follows the procedures in order to
ensure the public interest of .JP top level domain
