As noted in a separate entry below, the Legal System Advisory Council will soon discuss (if not largely decide) some ofthe most important issues affecting corporate governance in Japan. BDTIencourages parties with opinions on these topics to submit them to BDTIas soon as possible. –>
BDTI will then submit such entries to the MOJ, other involved ministries, or in some cases, toindividual members of the committee. Please note that historically, the committee often appears to be moving slowly, but then it oftenturns out that in fact the most important matters were determined many months ago, and later on when the committee publishes its final report, it is impossible for public debate to have any impact on the final result. Accordingly, now is the time for interested parties to submit clear and detailed opinions on the topics listed in the entry below.
The Board Director Training Institute (BDTI) is a "public interest" nonprofit in Japan dedicated to training about directorship, corporate governance, and related management techniques. It is certified by the Japanese government to conduct these activities as a regulated nonprofit.
