Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…>, the Latin script community has submitted to ICANN the Proposal for Generation Panel for Latin Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone (Proposal[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 687 KB], Appendix[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 2.4 MB]).

"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, Sinhala and Tibetan. I encourage interested parties to lend their skills in support of this effort. There are currently LGR efforts underway by Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Latin and Neo-Brahmi communities. In addition, the Arabic, Armenian, 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__www.icann.org_resource…>, of which the Arabic script proposal has been integrated in the first edition of the Root Zone LGR[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>.

The Forum will cover topics related to the global domain marketplace, with regional perspectives from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and new industry trends resulting from the introduction of over 1000 new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). Other topics to be covered will include the regional digital economy, hosting businesses and entrepreneurship in Egypt, and the role of women in the tech industry. Cherine Chalaby, Vice-Chairman of the ICANN Board, and Akram Atallah, President of ICANN's Global Domains Division (GDD), will be giving keynote speeches at the forum's opening session.

The forum provides participants with an opportunity to: * Interact with ICANN leadership and industry experts on recent developments and top trends in the global domain industry * Discuss various business, technical and policy aspects of the domain industry * Learn about new approaches to establish and expand commercial online presence This edition of the Middle East DNS Forum builds on the previous forums held across the region, namely in the UAE (2014), Jordan (2015) and Tunisia (2016).
