Arabic, Hebrew, and Sinhala script-based LGRs, and the Hebrew language-based LGR, are included in this release. The reference IDN tables are based on the Guidelines for Developing Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Y0d0s0bNg0028002PRC0jE2>, which were finalized after community review <https://newsalerts.icann.org/dd0Pg2kNs20E800R0c020C0>. These will be used in reviewing IDN tables submitted by gTLD registries, e.g., through the Registry Service Evaluation Policy (RSEP) process. *Link:* https://www.icann.org/public-comments/lgr-additional-reference-2021-01-28-en <https://newsalerts.icann.org/z0282dP0000RNls2Cgd0E00> *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.
