1. Purpose

Japan Layout Alliance (JLA) is a voluntary effort to organize and share information on bottom row compatibility for Japanese keyboards.

This initiative is not intended to benefit any particular company, but to create a common understanding regarding compatibility.

2. attribution

JLA is not affiliated with any particular company or organization.

Currently located within Greenkeys (operated by GreenEchoes Studio), this is a convenient form of operation to organize concepts and manage the registry.

3. transfer of money

The JLA does not collect any monetary fees such as affiliation fees or license fees.

Participating companies are registered based on voluntary endorsement.

4. changes and updates to standards

Updates and consolidation of JLA class definitions are subject to public information and sharing with participating companies.

This initiative is a flexible conceptual arrangement and is not a legally binding standard.

5. future positioning

The JLA assumes that its role will end when the compatibility concept becomes established in the market.

Transition to independent operation or third-party management, if necessary, will be an option.
