by ICANN At-Large Staff June 20, 2016

June 20, 2016

[ICANN]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-06-17-en ________________________________ The Georgian Script Community Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) 17 June 2016 ICANN is pleased to announce the formation of the Generation Panel to develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Georgian script. Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>, on 2 June 2016 the Georgian script community submitted to ICANN the Proposal for Generation Panel for Georgian Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/georgian-script-lgr-proposal-17…> [DFP, 392 KB]. ICANN staff has reviewed the proposal including panel composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 772 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>, are fulfilled. "On behalf of ICANN we are grateful to the Georgian script community for volunteering to develop the Georgian script LGR proposal for the Root Zone," said Sarmad Hussain from the IDN Program at ICANN. With composition and work plan approved, the Georgian script Generation Panel will start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its second version (MSR-2<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en>) released on 27 April 2015. The full specification of Generation Panel's tasks can be found in the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> [PDF, 772 KB] in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation Procedure". As a reminder, and to highlight the importance of script community involvement required in the development of the IDN Root Zone LGR, we would like to reiterate the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>. A successful development of the Root Zone LGR depends on having Generation Panels for each script represented in the Root Zone. In addition to ongoing efforts by the communities for Chinese, Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Latin, Neo-Brahmi and Thai, Generation Panel formation is expected to cover other scripts including Hebrew, Myanmar, Sinhala and Tibetan. For further information on how to form a Generation Panel, please refer to the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> and to the additional supporting documentation provided on the Root Zone LGR Project website<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Root+Zone+LGR+Proje…>. Individual interests may be emailed to idntlds(a)icann.org<mailto:idntlds@icann.org>. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet.
