Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_news_announc…>, the Sinhala script community has submitted to ICANN the Proposal for Generation Panel for Sinhala Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_en_system_fi…> [PDF, 391 KB]. The ICANN org reviewed the proposal including panel composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the LGR Procedure[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_en_system_fi…> [PDF, 772 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_news_announc…>, are fulfilled. "On behalf of ICANN we are grateful to the Sinhala script community for volunteering to develop the Sinhala script LGR proposal for the root zone," said Sarmad Hussain, the Director of IDN Programs at ICANN. "We would also like to thank Theekshana Company and the University of Colombo School of Computing in Sri Lanka for providing the institutional support to the panel." With composition and work plan approved, the Sinhala script Generation Panel will start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_en_system_fi…> [PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its second version (MSR-2[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_news_announc…>) released on 27 April 2015.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate our appreciation for the efforts of many communities towards developing their root zone LGR proposals," said Sarmad Hussain. "We still have more work to do including organizing script panels for Hebrew, Myanmar and Tibetan. I encourage interested parties to lend their skills in support of this effort. There are currently LGR efforts underway by Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Neo-Brahmi and Sinhala script using communities. In addition, the Arabic, Armenian, Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Khmer, Lao and Thai script communities have finalized their root zone LGR proposals[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_resources_pa…>, of which many have been integrated in the second edition of the Root Zone LGR[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_resources_pa…>.

ICANN News Alert -- New Report Presents Syntax and Operability Accuracy of WHOIS Data in gTLDs
by ICANN At-Large Staff Dec. 20, 2017

Dec. 20, 2017

[CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-12-19-en[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ New Report Presents Syntax and Operability Accuracy of WHOIS Data in gTLDs 19 December 2017 LOS ANGELES – 19 December 2017 – Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) published the WHOIS Accuracy Reporting System (ARS) Phase 2 Cycle 5 Report. This is a follow-up to previous ARS Reports which have been published semi-annually since December 2015. Read the Report[whois.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__whois.icann.org_en_fil…>. The report explores both the syntax and operability accuracy of WHOIS records in generic top-level domains (gTLDs) as compared to the requirements of the 2009 and 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreements (RAAs). It also examines the leading types of nonconformance, trends, and comparisons of WHOIS accuracy across gTLD types, ICANN regions, and RAA versions. The ICANN org developed accuracy tests[whois.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__whois.icann.org_en_who…> to answer questions about the syntax (format and content) and operability (e.g., does an email sent to the email address provided in the WHOIS record go through?) of a sample of WHOIS records. Then, using statistical methods, syntax and operability accuracy estimates were provided for the population of domains in gTLDs as a whole, as well as for several subgroups of interest. Key Findings The analysis found that: * Nearly all WHOIS records contain information that can be used to establish immediate contact: In 98 percent of records, at least one email or phone number meets all operability requirements of the 2009 RAA. * Approximately 94 percent of email addresses, 67 percent of telephone numbers, and 98 percent of postal addresses were operable (see Table 1 below for more information). Table 1: Overall gTLD Operability Accuracy by Contact Mode (95 percent confidence interval) Email Telephone Postal Address All Three Accurate All Three Contacts (Registrant, Technical, Administrative) Accurate 93.8% ± 0.4% 66.9% ± 0.8% 98.4% ± 0.3% 63.4% ± 0.9% * In terms of syntax accuracy, approximately 99 percent of email addresses, 90 percent of telephone numbers, and 89 percent of postal addresses were found to meet all the requirements of the 2009 RAA (see Table 2 below for more information). Table 2: Overall gTLD Syntax Accuracy to 2009 RAA Requirements by Contact Mode (95 percent confidence interval) Email Telephone Postal Address All Three Accurate All Three Contacts (Registrant, Technical, Administrative) Accurate 99.6% ± 0.1% 90.2% ± 0.5% 88.9% ± 0.6% 81.5% ± 0.8% The report also shows a breakdown of accuracy rates by ICANN region (see Figure 1 below for more information).

If WHOIS inaccuracy and/or format complaints are created from the WHOIS ARS data, ICANN Contractual Compliance will issue tickets in accordance with the Contractual Compliance Approach and Process[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org__en_system_f…> [PDF, 292 KB].
