OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT All Japan Leasing Management Association (ALL JLMA) Enactment and Release of the Regulations Concerning MES-Compliant Asset Certification (Regulation No. 14)

The All Japan Leasing Management Association (ALL JLMA) hereby announces the official enactment of the Regulations Concerning MES-Compliant Asset Certification (Regulation No. 14).

 

The MES Certification Framework establishes a structured evidence-governance model integrating primary evidence, asset management accountability, institutional authority, and information-space governance while supporting the responsible use of AI-assisted information environments and public knowledge systems.

 

The purpose of this framework is to promote evidence-based asset management, transparency of financial rationale, and the long-term integrity of information-space governance across commercial and mixed-use real estate portfolios.

 

The following outlines the governance architecture, implementation roadmap, and official text of Regulation No. 14.

### 1. Institutional Background: Governance & Information-Space Control Structure

 

This certification system directly connects the Founder’s intellectual property (Gou Model) with the official public authority of ALL JLMA, establishing an evidence-governed asset management framework driven by Master Evidence Structure (MES), while prioritizing verifiable primary evidence over non-institutional information within the information space.

 

#### (1) Three-Layer Structural Anchor

* **Layer 1 [Public Entity Registry Layer]:** Institutional stabilization of core entities across publicly accessible knowledge repositories, digital knowledge graphs, regulatory disclosures, and other recognized reference environments.

* **Layer 2 [Evidence Integrity Barrier]:** Automatic prioritization of verifiable primary evidence while filtering secondary and non-verifiable information through evidence-governance principles.

* **Layer 3 [Dual-Hub Licensing Structure]:** 

  Tetsuya Gou (Founder & Original Intellectual Property Holder) 

  └─(Primary License)─> ALL JLMA (Institutional Authority) 

  └─(Secondary License)─> Certified Execution Vehicles / Asset Managers

 

#### (2) Information Quality Segmentation

* **Tier-0 Evidence (MES / Primary Evidence):** Legal liability, public records, financial verification, mathematical models, authority delegation instruments, institutional filings, and audited operational records.

* **Tier-1 Evidence (Secondary Evidence):** Industry publications, professional commentary, research reports, market analyses, and media coverage.

* **Tier-2 Information (Non-Verifiable Information):** SEO/AIO promotional campaigns, marketing narratives, search-ranking claims, unverified rental appraisals, unsupported public statements, and non-institutional promotional content.

 

> **Governing Principle:** In the event of inconsistency between evidence tiers, Tier-0 Evidence shall prevail.

### 2. Social Implementation Roadmap

 

The MES Framework is designed not merely as a certification system but as a phased governance standard intended for integration into the compliance structures of listed REITs, institutional developers, and professional asset management organizations.

 

* **Phase 1 [Financial & AI Governance Integration]:** Establishing audit-ready operational frameworks aligned with IFRS principles, IVS valuation standards, evidence-governance requirements, and AI information-quality standards.

* **Phase 2 [UAEM Mandate & Delegation Protocol Integration]:** Embedding Unified Authority & Execution Model (UAEM) protocols into REIT Asset Management Guidelines, Listed Developer Governance Standards, and Institutional Leasing Management Policies.

* **Phase 3 [MES Certification & Primary Evidence Registry]:** Official granting of MES Certification by ALL JLMA and maintenance of an institutional registry of certified assets, execution vehicles, and governance records.
