About the Country Domain Governance Project

The Country Domain Governance (CDG) project, hosted by the Department 
of Management & Information Systems Science, Nagaoka University of 
Technology, is an international collaboration mapping the matrix of 
roles and responsibilities that should be undertaken by various 
stakeholders in order to maintain the well-being of the Internet. CDG 
is sponsored by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), 
Research Institute of Science and Technology for Society (RISTEX). 
The JST RISTEX programme aims to improve our understanding of 
governance in the ubiquitous information society. It is oriented to 
social technology (technology and society) and includes broad 
programmes examining social vulnerabilities such as security and 
privacy and the pervasive use of ICTs, and the challenges of use and 
growth of the Internet.
