Many comments favoring changing the English name to 'Antinatalism Japan' by adopting Proposed Amendment A were made. Proposed Amendment A was adopted as a result of voting.
2. Change to Ways in which Logo Should Be Used
Co-Director Asagi Hozumi explained the reason for the proposal. Concern was expressed that using a bolder font might cause an issue of letters/characters being illegible, but Hozumi showed his understanding that it would not be impossible to address in actual use. As a result of voting, the change was approved unanimously.
