Bob, Jean-Michel, or any other Japanese Registrar: I read this article today about recent actions by the Japanese government to increase privacy protection of individuals, see http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/newse/20040730wo32.htm. Although this does not appear to be on all fours with the current privacy debate regarding the Whois data, I do think it is something relevant that might be useful to track. Can anyone Japanese registrars provide any additional information on this proposed legislation and how it could impact your business operations. Best regards, Michael D. Palage
