Background and Purpose of ".jprs" Establishment
The rapid growth and development of the Internet has been bolstered by the innovativeideas including domain names and domain name system (“DNS”), as well as various
technologies that have enabled those ideas to become reality.
It should be noted that the flexible environment of the Internet itself has been asignificant factor that has contributed to the growth and development, allowing faciletrials and operations of new technologies intended for practical use.
In the meantime, the trend in exercising caution against the introduction of newtechnologies has become more apparent, as the Internet has become an important partof the social infrastructure.
Consequently, we, Japan Registry Services Co., Ltd. (JPRS), have less liberty ofpracticing trials of new technologies to determine the admissibility as well as operating
thorough testing before put into production environment.
As the center of balance in the Internet has shifted from research to business and noteven a short-term suspension of operations has become permissible, it may be a natural
progression of consciousness to be on the safer side at all times.
Undoubtedly, service stability is extremely important for providers as well as for users.
However, if we face a situation where new technologies are not implemented any further
due to the reason of providing "stable services," then that will lower the motivation toimprove the Internet and essentially stagnate the growth of the Internet itself.
In other words, in order for the Internet to keep growing while maintaining the existingflexibility, we will require an environment to create positive innovations as we’ve had inthe past.

".jprs" for the Purpose of Social Contribution and Research and Development Support".jprs" has been applied by JPRS as ICANN opened the application window for the newgTLD program, and our new gTLD establishment is intended with a primary purpose ofresearch and development in relation to the Internet.
It is aiming to provide an environment where autonomous research pertaining to theInternet can be conducted and to serve a wide purpose with the knowledge gained
through its operations.
JPRS will make use of the knowledge gained through ".jprs" operations by providing
research results for the ".jp" development to achieve better services. Additionally, JPRS
plans to leverage ".jprs" for the purpose of gaining recognition of domain names, raisingawareness of correct usage, and providing valuable information for the entire Internetcommunity.

institutions and accredited business partners.

JPRS operates under a corporate philosophy which aims to contribute to the expansionof the Internet and to build a better future for people and society. ".jprs" is one of ourforms of social contribution as well as research and development support that JPRS
perceives.

What ".jprs" will Offer and Achieve
JPRS will utilize ".jprs" as a place primarily to try out new technologies. This type ofplace is effective, specifically, in a situation where collaboration by several participants
is required.
The existence of such a place to research new technologies and services, while engaged
in collaboration, will contribute to the expansion of and will be of value to the Internet.
Additionally, ".jprs" will contribute to the enhanced stability of domain name operations
by sharing the knowledge gained through ".jprs" operations with the global Internet
community.

Use of fast-flux techniques to disguise the location of Web sites or other Internetservices, or to avoid detection and mitigation efforts, or to host illegal activities.
