Re: [registrars] Privacy Initiative in Japan

[Duane Connelly <duane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael:

I cut out that article for our staff. The Yomiuri is an excellent source of 
information. Every Tuesday we have a CyberWorld section to enjoy.
Mieko Umezu recently completed a course here  in Japan put on by the "Japan 
Privacy Consultant Association" which is a branch of the "US Privacy 
Consultant Association." She was the only registrar here to attend/complete 
the course.
Also, your friends at JPRS (.jp registry) my wish add some information.

Personal regards,

Duane Connelly
