In a more strict sense, JPNIC will accept and setup DNS setting information
only if the said connection is approved by a JPNIC member (usually the
upstream ISP).  The practice will be the same, we can only apply through
the ISP we are connecting the Net through.

BTW by using traceroute and searching the JPNIC database, I presume
the ISP whom PHT is connecting is NTT's OCN (Open Connection Network).
They charge 5,000 /year/domain for maintaining the connection/approval
status.  See

I will post more info when I am back home.

I think I can do something on paperwork regarding applicaiton of the TLUG
domain name.  I will be out of town for a week from 3 March, so I can actually
start to work around 11th.   Craig, do you have your seal registered?  Who
shall we nominate as the vice President of the group?

Oh, should we conclude the vote first?

Regards,
