As one step towards achieving our long-term vision for WMDF, we are pleased to announce the formation of the public interest corporation, "WMDF General Incorprated Association" (WMDF GIA).
The GIA is a relatively new form of nonprofit organisation in Japan (see http://www.koekihojin.com/en/comparison.html)
We hope that this GIA status will allow us to continue to build towards the future that we plan for WMDF. For instance, the GIA will allow us to start the process of creating a substantial WMDF office by directly employing full-time or part-time staff.
