Model of .JP Redelegation (concerns) JPNIC (sponsor) IANA 1: .jp delegation 1986 Jun Murai (admin, JPNIC President) 2: letter (plan of transferring .jp admin to JPRS) Feb.2001 (C) Whether Gov * send a letter spontaneously * reply to ICANN’s query * disregard ICANN’s query? Govern- ment (B)Whether trilateral agreement be signed? (A) Whether Gov issues formal certificate to JPRS ? ICANN JPRS Formal Agreement Japan Registry Service

  7. issue(A)Whether Government issues a formalcertificate 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. • It is sometimes difficult for government to issue certificate for a private company • Option 1 : JPNIC and JPRS communicate with government to get verbal recognition of the status of JPRS as a delegee • Option 2 : ????? but therefore

  8. issue(B)(C)Whether trilateral agreement be signed? How ICANN recognizes Government’s endorsements • If trilateral agreement is signed, it is absolutely OK. • It is sometimes difficult for government to have a contract with a private company • 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. but therefore

  12. 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

  13. 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
