Application for Deletion To delete a JP domain name that was already registered, an application for deletion need be submitted. Deletion applications are classified into instantaneous deletion application and deletion application with grace period. 2. Application for Domain Name Deletion An application for deletion of a domain name is made by submitting the "notice for domain name deletion." In case of a deletion application by E-mail, enter the domain name to be deleted in the column of Subject: as shown in the example below, and send it to: apply@domain.nic.ad.jp Subject: Delete: XXXX.YY.JP In case of mailing, write "domain name application form enclosed" on the surface of envelope by red pen, enclose a self-addressed, stamped return envelope and send it to the following address by mail. The return envelope would be used for sending notification. Japan Network Information Center Mansui Bldg. 3F, 2-9-18, Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101, Japan It takes time for an application by mail to be input to the machine, therefore, take notice that it may take some days more than an application by E-mail. It should be noted sufficiently that application cannot be accepted if there is an omission or unclear entry on the application form. 3. Acceptance of Deletion Application and Notification for Deletion Application Acceptance When a deletion application is submitted, JPNIC examines the contents of the deletion application, and notifies acceptance of the deletion application within 10 days*. If an examination is required for the applied domain name, JPNIC notifies within 10 days* that the application is under examination. However, if a false entry is found on the deletion application or a false application is found, JPNIC can cancel acceptance of the deletion application. 4. Deletion of Domain Name and Treatment of Domain Name after Deletion A. Instantaneous deletion application When disconnection from other networks is to be done immediately after a deletion application is submitted and accepted by JPNIC, the domain name is deleted, and the domain name is not re-registered for a year from the date on which the deletion application was accepted. However, only if the domain name was not once connected to a network, the domain name can be registered immediately after deletion of the domain name. B. Deletion application with grace period When disconnection from networks cannot be done immediately in relation to E-mail, etc. after a deletion application is submitted and accepted by JPNIC, the domain name is deleted at the end of a month in about six months from the date on which JPNIC accepted the deletion application, and the domain name is not re-registered for six months from the date on which it was deleted. In addition, until the domain name is deleted, the organization that submitted the deletion application cannot submit a new application for a JP domain name. Classification of A and B above is made by whether the item of [廃止期日](deletion period) on the deletion notice is entered or not. However, it should be approved that if the domain desired to be deleted is not registered in the name server operated by JPNIC, the acceptance date becomes the deletion date, regardless of the entry of deletion date. 5. Precautions for Writing the Deletion Application -Be sure to type the application form for mailing. -Application forms are processed mechanically except for some cases. Comments, etc. written in other than remarks columns are always ignored. Especially, there are many examples of writing messages immediately before the application form, however, be sure to write comments in the remarks columns. -Enter the contents applicable to the item after ] (end bracket) of the item. If the subject to be entered cannot be included in a line, write it in the next line successively. In the succeeding line, do not write the item (such as [Address]) but put one or more TAB or space at the beginning of the line. -A line ending with : (colon) is not an entry column. -Do not change the item name or item sequences. As far as possible, get "7. Domain name deletion notice" in this file and use it for application. -Items for which "can be omitted" is written in the description of each item below can be omitted. To omit entry, nothing should be entered in the entry column. Be sure to enter items for which "can be omitted" is not written. -Even if two or more columns have the same contents, do not write such omission as "ditto" or "same as xx column" but enter the same contents. -Alphanumeric characters, blanks and symbols should be half size. 6.
