Dear Readers

The big news from JPNIC is that Mr. Akinori Maemura of JPNIC assumed office as an ICANN Board Member on November 8, 2016. He was nominated by the Address Supporting Organization's Address Council (ASO AC). ICANN is an organization with a philosophy to support and manage one global Internet with multiple stakeholders, a vision that has yet to be experienced by anyone . Many of the adjustments between multi-stakeholders that may happen in the future will not be easy, but JPNIC will contribute to the stability of the Internet by being involved in activities supporting ICANN.
