When a user acquires a .NET domain from InterNIC for use within Japan,
it is necessary to register that domain name in the domestic name
server in order to be able to carry out communication between domestic
organizations that are not allowed connection to international circuits.
Considering the increase in the use of .NET domains in Japan, it has
been decided by JPNIC to start allowing on an experimental basis the
registration of .NET domains in the domestic name servers.

This document describes the procedure for registering .NET domains
in the domestic name servers and the related precautions to be taken.

* The .NET domains referred to in this document are the domain names
  of the form XXXX.NET.

0.The method of setting for registering a .NET domain in the domestic
  name server is at present in the experimental stage in terms of
  technology.  Hence, JPNIC does not accept any responsibility if there
  is any problem arising out of this setting.

1.When a .NET domain acquired from InterNIC is to be registered in a
  domestic name server, the domain information for that .NET domain is
  prepared and is registered in the database of JPNIC according to the
  normal procedure.

2.For registering .NET domains in Internet name servers, JPNIC will not
  relay the details of application to InterNIC.  The application should
  be made directly to InterNIC separately.

3.The domestic name server and the Internet name server are identical,
  enter the same data in the column for the Internet name server as
  that in the domestic name server in the domain information that is
  registered in the JPNIC database.

4.When registering a .NET domain in a domestic name server, it is
  essential that the domain name is permitted connection to any one of
  the JPNIC Member Network Projects and also is permitted connection
  to international circuit by any one of the JPNIC Member Network
  Projects that have international circuits.  However, this restriction
  does not apply when the organization has its own international circuit.

5.When deleting a .NET domain from a domestic name server, make the
  application for such deletion addressed to query@db.nic.ad.jp.
