IIHF Council has unanimously decided to:
1. Play the 2011 WMIA, WM18IA, and WWI Championships without Japan, relegating the participating team that finishes in 5th place of the respective Championship Division and promoting the team that qualifies to promote from Division II, applying the corresponding IIHF Sport Regulations.
2. Maintain the same seeding position for Japan to participate in the same IIHF Championship Division for the 2012 season.
3. Award the Japanese Men’s and Women’s teams the World Ranking points of the 6th ranked team in both the men’s senior and women’s senior 2011 Championships following conclusion of the event.

Japan definitivno nece biti izbacen u Diviziju II, dobra vijest za... Rumunjsku, bit ce im lakse dogodine
--------------------------------
Sto se tice toga jesmo li mi toliko jaki ili su drugi toliko slabi... ekipe osciliraju, npr Kina nas je prije pobjedjivala 5:0, pa potom jos jednom nas pobjedili i otisli u Diviziju I, a sad su Kinezi dosta opali, ni blizu Divizije I, Bugari su takodjer dosta slabiji nego prije (nisu ni prije bili nesto jaki, al..)
No u svakom slucaju nasi "rasturaju", impresivnije nego kada smo prije bili domacini SP, dobiti "solidnog" Islanda 9:0 nije bas lako
