Dear Wang Wei, Kenny, Naiwen, and Yaling,

Thank you very much for CGP statement draft.

The current text of draft statement is in line with the basic thought kept by JGP and Japanese community during Japanese Root Zone LGR (J-LGR) development.

I.e., no differentiation between single-character TLDs and multiple-character TLDs was not considered necessary and the current J-LGR is applicable also to single character TLDs.

Regards, Hiro

Dear all

Kenny, Naiwen, Yaling and I drafted the CGP statement in concern with the Chinese single character TLD issue.

I have created a google doc for every one to co-edit or comment, please feel free to input your insights.

Dr. Yao, If you and other experts may object the current version of the CGP statement, any specific suggestion to the wording or spelling is welcomed. All GPs are task forces set up by ICANN to address root label generation rules, that CGP ONLY dispose the issues related with repertoire, variants and visual similarities. From that perspective, CGP RZ-LGR for TLD , much like CDNC rule set for SLD, are both applicable to single character label as well as multiple characters label. If you have different opinion, you also have the right to formally suggest CGP’s task should expand to semantic and other registration policy. Or you may suggest why single character label should NOT follow the RZ-LGR. As a team, CGP, should NOT, and has NOT got involved in registration policy discussions on single character issue. As an individual, every CGP member does has right to express his opinion on registration policy at suitable occasions like ccNSO or GAC.

I replied the previous email. https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/seeking-input-on-han-scri... My understanding is that some CGP experts do not support allocation of the single character TLD. It is not clear who or how many experts from the CGP community strongly support the single character TLD. SSAC proposed the "conservative" method Best Regards Jiankang Yao ________________________________ 发件人: 王伟 via ChineseGP <chinesegp@icann.org> 发送时间: 2024年7月9日 11:32 收件人: chinesegp@icann.org <chinesegp@icann.org> 抄送: Kenny Huang, Ph.D. <huangk@twnic.tw> 主题: [ChineseGP] A Declaration on the Proposed Considerations for the Application of Han Script Single-Character IDN Generic Top-Level Domains Hi all Following the publication of 'Proposed Considerations for the Application of Han Script Single Character IDN Generic Top-Level Domains' by ICANN, many community members reached out to CGP experts to express concerns regarding the application and delegation of single-character Chinese TLD.

Hi, Dr. Wang and All, In contemporary Chinese usage, single-character Han scripts carry a higher degree of uncertainty in meaning. If single-character Han scripts are used as TLDs, there would be significant security risks, such as phishing. Moreover, considering the similarities in pronunciation, form, and meaning of Han scripts, it would lead to a very poor application experience for CDNs and increase the difficulty of governance. Therefore, I personally suggest that there should be more thorough and cautious consideration when adopting single-character Han scripts as IDN gTLDs.
