Dear Dr. Fozaki:

Congratulations on the 57 IRs!

As only 18 are registered in ROAR
http://archives.eprints.org/?country=jp&version=&type=&order=name&submit=Filter

could I aks you to encourage the rest to register, as soon as they are up? It will help
encourage the rest of the world to follow suit.

Also, if any Japanese IRs adopt a self-archiving policy (especially if it is a
mandate), I hope you will encourage them to register it in ROARMAP:
