  "description": "The Investment Promotion Authority's (IPA) Form A-17, \"Application for registration of business name\", filed under section 4(1) of the Business Names Act 2014. Used to register a business name under which an individual, partnership, or entity intends to trade in Papua New Guinea. Models the proposed business name (up to three ranked options); the principal place of business and postal address (Section 2A/2C — the unbounded \"additional places of business\" Section 2B is out of scope, disclosed below); up to three natural-person owners plus, as separate structural subparts, a PNG-registered-entity owner and a foreign, PNG-unregistered-entity owner (Section 3A/3B/3C); the primary business activity classification and commencement date (Section 4/5); up to four authorised signers (Section 6); and the lodging person's own particulars (Section 7). The prescribed fee and the form's own certification statement are modelled as documents[]. Out of scope, disclosed rather than silently omitted: Section 2B's unbounded \"additional places of business\" attachment (the source itself directs the applicant to \"attach a separate sheet\" with no printed maximum, this registry's established unbounded-attachment exclusion pattern) and Section 8's own prescribed-fee-amount figure (a variable schedule set by IPA regulation, not printed on the form itself). GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Independent State of Papua New Guinea or the Investment Promotion Authority.",

    "notes": "GOV-5791 (\"GovSchema Standard Research\"). Re-scanned CATALOG.md fresh: Pakistan's FBR \"Manual Return\" workbook backlog (Annexes A-F) closed outright by the immediately preceding GOV-5782 cycle, and the standing 16-jurisdiction \"5 of 6 verticals\" re-screen list (AE, BA, BR, CZ, GR, ID, JM, MK, MN, MT, NO, PL, RW, SK, TN, TT) had already been reconfirmed a dead end across 8 consecutive prior cycles (GOV-5731 through GOV-5782) — so this cycle scouted genuinely new jurisdictions instead of a 9th re-screen. Parallel scouting across 18 countries entirely absent from the 100-jurisdiction registry (Angola, Mozambique, Cameroon, DR Congo, Sudan, Malawi, Suriname, Guyana, Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba, Montenegro, Kosovo, Bahrain, Kuwait, Papua New Guinea, Fiji) found several reachable, unauthenticated candidates. Kosovo's ARBK Form A0 was the single richest field-wise, but a prior cycle (GOV-4713, 2026-07-24) had already flagged it as a governance question, not a build one: Kosovo has no ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (contested statehood, not an ISO member), and this registry's own jurisdiction.country pattern requires one — adopting a non-ISO code (e.g. the widely-used \"XK\") would set a precedent for handling non-ISO-recognized territories generally, a call for the Founding Engineer/CEO. Left unauthored again this cycle, consistent with that standing flag. Papua New Guinea's IPA Form A-17 was the strongest genuinely-buildable candidate found: hosted directly on the Investment Promotion Authority's own official domain (ipa.gov.pg), no login/CAPTCHA/WAF gate, and the richest field set of any candidate found this cycle (11 pages).\n\nIndependently re-fetched https://www.ipa.gov.pg/documentation/pg/form-a-17.pdf: HTTP 200, 911,150 bytes (byte-identical to the scouting pass), sha256 c3c3147e3bf2ab87c780caa81946b0928f2fb936716f61e1213026bf94270f00. Confirmed a genuine native (searchable-text) PDF via clean pdfjs-dist text-layer extraction across all 11 pages, no glyph-mapping or OCR workaround needed.\n\nExtracted with pdfjs-dist (vendored install at /tmp/node_modules), reading each page's flattened text content, then re-extracting pages 10-11 with each text item's own x/y transform to resolve a genuine layout ambiguity: the raw text stream interleaves \"8. Checklist\" between the \"7. Lodged by\" section header and its own two-column answer block (Name/Address on the left; a right-hand \"Other contact details\" sub-header over Telephone/Email), since Section 8 itself carries only a single checklist item (the prescribed fee) with no further data fields of its own — position-based re-extraction confirmed Name/Address/Telephone/Email belong to Section 7, not Section 8.\n\nModels 125 fields[] across 8 steps (Proposed Business Name; Addresses; Owners — Natural Persons [bounded 3 slots]; Owners — Registered PNG Entity [single block]; Owners — Foreign Unregistered Entity [single block]; Business Activity and Commencement Date; Signed by Authorised Person(s) [bounded 4 slots]; Lodged By) plus 2 documents[] (the prescribed fee, payment; and the form's own verbatim certification statement, attestation). Disclosed scoping decisions: (1) Section 2B's own unbounded \"attach a separate sheet\" additional-places-of-business instruction is excluded, this registry's established unbounded-attachment exclusion pattern; (2) every owner-block field across Sections 3A/3B/3C is modelled bare-optional, even several printed \"(required)\" on the source, since ownership of the business name may sit entirely with any one of the three mutually-exclusive owner-type subparts (natural person / PNG-registered entity / foreign unregistered entity) with no printed either/or signal this schema could safely gate a requiredWhen condition on — consistent with this registry's own standing lesson never to gate requiredness on an otherwise-optional trigger field; (3) Section 3A's own printed \"First/Second/Third owner\" 3-slot capacity is modelled directly (no invented numberOfOwners count field, mirroring this same form's own Section 1 second/third-option-business-name pattern); (4) Gender is a genuine two-option enum (Male/Female), unlike some sibling registry forms where the equivalent field prints no options at all; (5) commencementDate's own printed \"may not be more than three months after the date of registration\" business rule is disclosed in its description rather than encoded as crossFieldValidation, since this schema has no separate registration-date field to compare it against; (6) Section 6's own 4 authorised-signer slots are modelled as a bounded 4-slot block with only the first required, mirroring the Section 3A owner-slot convention; (7) Entity Type in both Section 3B and 3C is modelled as free string, not enum, since the source prints only a blank label with no enumerated options anywhere on the form.\n\n3 valid mock scenarios (a minimal sole-owner natural-person application; a fully-populated natural-person-owner scenario also exercising a second owner and a second authorised signer; a PNG-registered-entity-owner scenario using Section 3B instead of a natural-person owner) plus 8 mutation-control fixtures (6 missing-required fixtures, one per step carrying a statically required field; an invalid-enum-value fixture; and an unknown-field-rejected fixture) committed under conformance/pg/ipa/business-name-registration/1.0.0/. An ephemeral, from-scratch conformance checker (deriving required rules directly from this schema's own fields[], discarded after use, not committed) ran all 11 fixtures: all 3 valid scenarios at 0 errors, all 8 mutation controls each raising exactly 1 error. Validated clean with node tools/validate.mjs and node tools/validate-ajv.mjs, individually and as part of the full registry run.\n\nOpens Papua New Guinea as the registry's 101st jurisdiction, via Business Formation (1 of 6). DMV, Visa, Passport, Taxes, and National ID are open, unscreened backlog for a future cycle — this cycle's own scouting pass did not screen PNG's other five verticals beyond this Business Formation candidate."
