[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. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.

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>.

Fwd: Read the SubPro PDP Newsletter - October 2020 Edition
by Maureen Hilyard Oct. 30, 2020

Oct. 30, 2020

The latest edition is now available. New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP October 2020 Newsletter CURRENT STATUS Following the 30 September closure of the public comment <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> period on the Working Group’s draft Final Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, the Working Group has begun its review of the input received. The Working Group is using a series of review tool <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> spreadsheets to support this analysis. Working Group meetings in October focused on the following topics: - 1 October <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>: Community Priority Evaluation Guidelines - 8 October <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>: Comments received from the ICANN Board on the draft Final Report - 19 October <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>: Discussion with SSAC members on topics included in the draft Final Report - 27 October <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>: Review of public comments on Predictability <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, as well as general comments <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> - 29 October <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>: Review of public comments on Applicant Support <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, Limited Challenge/Appeal Mechanism <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, Applicant Guidebook <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, Communications <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, and Systems <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> During ICANN69, the working group had two sessions (session 1 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, session 2 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>) on 14 October in which it reviewed public comment submissions on two topics: Applicant Support <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> and Community Applications <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> . NEXT STEPS The Working Group will continue to review and analyze the input received through public comment with the objective of finalizing its recommendations and Final Report. The Working Group’s work plan <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> provides additional information about the topics that will be discussed on upcoming calls. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, the GNSO Council adopted the <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group first concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It then conducted initial deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. Following publication of the Working Group’s Initial Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, Supplemental Initial Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, and the Final Report produced by Work Track 5 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, the Working Group reviewed public comments received on the Initial Report and Supplemental Initial Report, refined its outputs and published a draft Final Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> for public comment. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.

To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique, so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
