".jprs" will be used not only for studies carried out by JPRS, but also for collaborative research and development with the relevant technology communities, academic institutions and accredited bussiness partners. Unlike the existing gTLDs, ".jprs" will not be accepting registrations from the public at large. </p> <p>Please see below for further information. </p> <p> <blockquote> Application for New gTLD ".jprs" Passes Initial Evaluation</br> <a href="http://jprs.co.jp/en/press/2013/130819.html" target="_blank">http://jprs.co.jp/en/press/2013/130819.html</a><br /> ".jprs" - The Background and Purpose of Our New gTLD Establishment -</br> <a href="http://jprs.co.jp/en/notice/whatisdotjprs-e.pdf" target="_blank">http://jprs.co.jp/en/notice/whatisdotjprs-e.pdf</a> </blockquote> </p> <p>In addition, to operate ".jprs" in compliance with the ICANN provision, JPRS needs to have another entity who holds ICANN accreditation as a registrar. For this reason, JPRS has established JPRS Registrar Co., Ltd. as a wholly-owned subsidiary. </p> <p> <blockquote> JPRS Registrar Co., Ltd.</br> <a href="http://jprs-registrar.co.jp" target="_blank">http://jprs-registrar.co.jp</a> </blockquote> </p> <p>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, raising awareness of correct usage, and providing valuable information for the entire Internet community. </p> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var activeNav='en_topics2013'; // ]]> </script> <div class="snslist clearfix"> <ul class="clearfix"> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script></li> <li><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/share_button.php?locale=en_US&href=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2Fplugins%2F&layout=button&size=small&mobile_iframe=true&width=61&height=20&appId" width="61" height="20" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div>  <p class="pagetop"><a href="#under"><span>PAGE TOP</span></a></p>   <footer class="clearfix"> <div class="foot_nav"> <div class="foot_in"> <ul class="clearfix"> <li><a href="/en/sitemap.html">Sitemap</a></li> <li><a href="/en/privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/en/about_our_websites.html">About Our Websites</a></li> <li><a href="/en/copyright.html">Copyright</a></li> </ul> </div> <p class="copy pc_copy">Copyright © 2001-2025 Japan Registry Services Co., Ltd.</p> </div> <div class="foot_logo"> <p class="overimg"><form action="https://sitesealinfo.pubcert.jprs.jp/SiteSealReference" name="SiteSealReference" method="post" target="_blank"> <p class="copy sp_copy">Copyright © 2001-2025<br>Japan Registry Services Co., Ltd.</p>  <input type="image" name="Sticker" src="/img2/jprs_siteseal_140x59_OV.png" alt="クリックして証明書の内容をご確認ください。" oncontextmenu="return false;" /> <input type="hidden" name="certificateCn" value="jprs.co.jp" /> <input type="hidden" name="certificateClass" value="OV" />  </form></p> </div> </footer>  <script src="/cmn/js/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> <script src="/cmn/js/jquery.cookie.js"></script> <script async defer src="/cmn/js/common.js"></script> <script async defer src="/cmn/js/switch.js"></script> <script defer src="/cmn/js/jquery.heightLine.js"></script>  <script type="text/javascript"> var _uic = _uic ||{}; var _uih = _uih ||{};_uih['id'] = 53861; _uih['lg_id'] = ''; _uih['fb_id'] = ''; _uih['tw_id'] = ''; _uih['uigr_1'] = ''; _uih['uigr_2'] = ''; _uih['uigr_3'] = ''; _uih['uigr_4'] = ''; _uih['uigr_5'] = ''; _uih['uigr_6'] = ''; _uih['uigr_7'] = ''; _uih['uigr_8'] = ''; _uih['uigr_9'] = ''; _uih['uigr_10'] = ''; _uic['uls'] = 1; /* DO NOT ALTER BELOW THIS LINE */ /* WITH FIRST PARTY COOKIE */ (function() { var bi = document.createElement('script');bi.type = 'text/javascript'; bi.async = true; bi.src = '//cs.nakanohito.jp/b3/bi.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(bi, s); })(); </script>  </body> </html>
