I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Korean Root Zone LGR proposal. First of all, on behalf of Japanese Generation Panel (JGP), let me congratulate the completion of Korean Root Zone LGR proposal. JGP has long been in cooperation with Korean GP (KGP) and Chinese GP (CGP) in developing Root Zone LGR proposals that cover Kanji (also called Hanja or Han) script. Those three language communities (often called CJK, collectively) use thousands of Kanji characters in common. From its initial phase, JGP has been consistent in its intention to accept the variants defined in Korean Root Zone LGR (as well as in Chinese one) in order to nurture safe TLD space. To assure that this intention would be adequately achieved, JGP needed to carefully observe the process and result of KGP. The above means that completion of comprehensive Korean Root Zone LGR is one of the requirements for the completion of Japanese Root Zone LGR. JGP has discussed and shared the process and outcomes with KGP periodically and I am confident that their process was well-devised and their proposal is in accordance with the result of CJK GPs' coordination.
