        The ISOC-JP had a kick-off meeting on this day and Mr.Tony Rutkowski
  (ISOC) was a keynote speaker. The main objective is to promote internet-
  related R & D activities so that Japan can produce more RFCs.

		  Currently, no membership fees.

3. Cooperation with the IAJ (Internet Society of Japan which has 84 companies
