FW: Secretary¹s Notice of Board Approval of FY19 IANA Operating Plan and Budget
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 9, 2018

Feb. 9, 2018

FYI Dear All, I do not know what it is called Secretary’s Notice of Board Approval of FY19 IANA Operating Plan and Budget. In the essence, this is a Rejection Action Board Notice and, personally, I see no reason to call it otherwise. It triggers Rejection action process. Although we do not expect any petions nor we have an approved guideline yet, we still can use this to test our procedures. May I ask the Secretariat to publish the petition and check all other things we have to do? Thank you!

by Joke Braeken Feb. 5, 2018

Feb. 5, 2018

Dear all, ICANN is releasing for public comment version 3 of the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR-3: HTML<https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/lgr/msr/msr-3-wle-rules-…>, XML<https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/lgr/msr/msr-3-wle-rules-…>). This version is upwardly compatible with MSR-2<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en> and adds three code points each to the repertoires of Han and Latin scripts. Under the Procedure to Develop and Maintain Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone with Respect to IDN Labels<https://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/variant-tlds/lgr-procedure-20mar13-e…> [PDF, 772 KB], the MSR is the starting point for the work by community based Generation Panels<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/generation-panel-2015-06-21-en> which are developing the proposals for relevant scripts for the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/root-zone-lgr-2015-06-21-en>). The contents of MSR-3 and the detailed rationale behind its development are described in MSR-3-Overview and Rationale<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/msr-3-overview-15jan18-en.pdf> [PDF, 1.1 MB]. Current Status: The Generation Panels<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/generation-panel-2015-06-21-en> currently use MSR-2, which covers 28 scripts: Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Han, Hangul, Hebrew, Hiragana, Kannada, Katakana, Khmer, Lao, Latin, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thaana, Tibetan and Thai. MSR-2 contains 33,490 code points short-listed from 97,973 PVALID/CONTEXT code points of Unicode version 6.3. Next Steps: MSR-3 will cover the same scripts. The Integration Panel will finalize the code point repertoire for MSR-3 based on the feedback received by the community. After the release of MSR-3, Generation Panels which are developing their RZ-LGR proposals will be able to use the updated contents as a starting point for their analysis.
