[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Fourth Version of Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR-4) Published <https://newsalerts.icann.org/G2R0Eb208i0HC0dP0000gN2>* 06 November 2020 LOS ANGELES – 6 November 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced the publication of the fourth version of Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone <https://newsalerts.icann.org/I020IC80P0gjNd220b0RE00> (RZ-LGR-4). Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR) define a set of rules to determine valid Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) labels for the root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) and their variant labels. RZ-LGR-4 integrates 18 scripts, adding Chinese and Bangla scripts in this version, in addition to Arabic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai. These rules were developed using the proposals submitted <https://newsalerts.icann.org/eN08JE02000RCb0202kPg0d> by the Generation Panels (GPs) formed for these scripts, which were finalized after Public Comment <https://newsalerts.icann.org/s0Kb0P208RNl0C020g20d0E> proceedings. The Armenian and Cyrillic script proposals have also been completed by the respective GPs but have been deferred from integration by the Integration Panel until proposals for related scripts are also finalized. RZ-LGR development follows the Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels <https://newsalerts.icann.org/j2mR022PC00080gNEdL0b00>. A total of 28 scripts have been identified in the Maximal Starting Repertoire <https://newsalerts.icann.org/uMN0008R0P0d0n02bg2CE20> for inclusion in RZ-LGR. The remaining scripts will be included in future releases of RZ-LGR as relevant proposals become available from the community.

by Maureen Hilyard Nov. 4, 2020

Nov. 4, 2020

Anyone interested?? [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Call for Expressions of Interest: Chair of Phase 2A GNSO EPDP on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data <https://newsalerts.icann.org/y2dC82gN0d0PERM00p00020>* 04 November 2020 LOS ANGELES – 4 November 2020 – The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is seeking a neutral chair for the remaining Phase 2A work of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Registration Data. Candidates interested in serving this role should review the Expressions of Interest document <https://newsalerts.icann.org/p0000C02qE020NNRdP0g8d2> before submission. The document details the role description, required skills and experience, time commitment, and selection process. The deadline to submit Expressions of Interest is 13 November 2020 at 23:59 UTC. There will be no compensation associated with the role of the EPDP Team chair; however, travel associated with any face-to-face meetings may be supported by ICANN org. Please note, face-to-face meetings are currently paused due to pandemic travel restrictions. Expressions of Interest should be submitted to EOI-EPDPTeam-chair(a)icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/uON0008R0P0d0r02dg2CE20>. By submitting your personal data, you agree that your personal data will be processed in accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy <https://newsalerts.icann.org/f00dd0P08P002R22CNEsg00>, and you agree to abide by the electronic Terms of Service <https://newsalerts.icann.org/F28RP00Qt0C0g2d2000EdN0>. Background on EPDP Phase 2A The two remaining topics that are part of Phase 2A will be: - Legal vs. natural persons - Feasibility of unique contacts to have a uniform anonymized email address Instructions for the EPDP Team to address the issues of Phase 2A: 1. Legal vs. natural persons: The EPDP Team is expected to review the study <https://newsalerts.icann.org/SR0E2d08P000NCg0200d2uR> undertaken by ICANN organization (as requested by the EPDP Team and approved by the GNSO Council during Phase 1), legal guidance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/c00022gC0PNR02dEv08Sd00> provided by Bird & Bird, as well as the substantive input provided on this topic during the Public Comment forum on the addendum <https://newsalerts.icann.org/U2wg00E0PR0Cdd022N000T8>. The Team will then answer: 1. Whether any updates are required to the EPDP Phase 1 recommendation on this topic ("Registrars and Registry Operators are permitted to differentiate between registrations of legal and natural persons, but are not obligated to do so <https://newsalerts.icann.org/TxNCd0g020008RU20P02dE0>.", Rec. #17, EPDP Phase 1 Final Report <https://newsalerts.icann.org/TxNCd0g020008RU20P02dE0>) 2. What guidance, if any, can be provided to registrars and/or registries who differentiate between registrations of legal and natural persons. 2. In relation to feasibility of unique contacts to have a uniform anonymized email address, the EPDP Team is expected to review the legal guidance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/B200yC2EN00000dR08VPg2d> and consider specific proposals that provide sufficient safeguards to address issues flagged in the legal memo. Groups that requested additional time to consider this topic, which include the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), will be responsible to come forward with concrete proposals to address this topic. This consideration is expected to address: 1. Whether or not a uniform anonymized email address for unique contacts is feasible and, if feasible, whether it should be a requirement. 2. If feasible but not a requirement, what guidance, if any, can be provided to contracted parties who may want to implement uniform anonymized email addresses. For clarity, the GNSO Council is not directing any particular outcome on either topic. As manager of the policy development process (PDP), it is sharing its expectations for which questions should be addressed as part of the EPDP Team's deliberations. Consistent with the Policy Development Process Manual <https://newsalerts.icann.org/JR2PC20W2E0Nzd80dg00000>, the GNSO Council does expect that all the required steps are followed in the consideration of these issues. These steps may include further Public Comment on an Initial Report as well as a Final Report that would be considered an addendum to the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report. Additional information about the EPDP is located in Annex-A1 of the ICANN Bylaws <https://newsalerts.icann.org/wR8EN0dCP0000g2A0022X0d> and the EPDP Manual <https://newsalerts.icann.org/dd0Pg2YNd20E800R0B020C0>.

REMINDER: Information Transparency Initiative Update: New Content Available for Your Feedback From: Sally Newell Cohen, ICANN Senior Vice President, Global Communications As ICANN org President and CEO Göran Marby announced in his May 2020 blog <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aLaJSMlqsqXAxJUiH2abOItoifuRj456wztLf-ZQ7q64…>, the Information Transparency Initiative (ITI) team is releasing new content to https://preview.icann.org <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aLaJSMlqsqXAxJUiH2abOItoifuRj456wztLf-ZQ7q64…>, and content on https://icann.org <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aLaJSMlqsqXAxJUiH2abOItoifuRj456wztLf-ZQ7q64…> has been improved with ITI’s enhanced search features. New and improved content includes: - Correspondence - New findability improvements include keyword(s) search allowing you to narrow your search within Correspondence files, an advanced year selector, a helpful sub-navigation menu, and an improved table layout to enhance accessibility and readability. - Board Meeting Materials - We’ve made upgrades to this content type since the May 2020 release. The keyword(s) search has been implemented and improved, and most Board Meeting files and pages from 1998-2019 are now available via filtered or keyword search. - Acronyms and Terms - Enhancements to the existing release include alignment with ITI’s new user experience, additional terms added in all six U.N. languages, and a new sub-navigation menu. We Need Your Feedback To support our current release, we invite the community to join us for two upcoming webinars. The team will demonstrate the enhancements to Correspondence, Board Materials, and Acronyms and Terms, and answer any questions.
