Details of Discussions and the Results

・Reviewing the Guidelines
Following our decisions at our previous meeting to include flea markets in the Guidelines,
we studied a revised plan for the guidelines in order to reorganize the whole structure.
Also, we clarified the role of the Guidelines annex in combatting infringement and examinedwhich categories, texts and goods should be added for verification purposes.
On the problem of distributing fake goods called novelties, we began to examine whichbrands, products or keywords should be dealt with. We could not agree on this matter in thecurrent fiscal year and this issue has been forwarded to the next meeting.
・Sharing of information
Both the platform providers and the right holders shared information regarding the trends ofaffecting infringing goods, infringement keywords and the new modes of infringing goods.
・What we discussed
At the first meeting, we sorted out the issues related to non-auction services (flea markets,shopping malls, B2B=business-to-business=services etc.).
At the second meeting, we studied the definitions of texts or terms to be used in theGuidelines for non-auction services, which had been discussed and sorted out at the firstmeeting. Also we studied which additional conditions (such as prices for goods, the use ofimages and novelties etc.) should be added into the Guidelines based on the current
situation. We confirmed the steps to be taken for reviewing a separate sheet for theGuidelines.
At the third meeting, we confirmed the points for revisions in the Guidelines as well as in theaccompanying sheet. We exchanged opinions and studied the issues related to these2
