[lgr] Getting started with the LGR work
by Eric Brunner-Williams Feb. 5, 2015

Feb. 5, 2015

Dear Colleagues, I will be chairing the LGR work, and for those of you I don't already know a very brief introduction -- I first began to think about support for languages in 1986 – I was writing what became the Single UnixSpecification for a set of European OEMs and had to consider whether or not to add APIs to Unix for 8-bit single-byte coded characters (8859-*) to the existing 7-bit APIs for single-byte coded characters (ASCII).I revisited the problem again six years later, after the locale model had been added for single and multi-byte encodings, e.g., EUC and SJIS, and again, as an architect at Sun, when I elected to create the default UTF8 locale for Solaris. Over the next several years I consulted to HP’s Cupertino Systems Labs and IBM’s Palo Alto Research Center, making contributions to the i18n/l10n architectures and implementations of HP-UX and AIX. I became involved with the Unicode Consortium when it began to consider adopting proposed draft standards for encoding two writing systems I had some prior familiarity with – the Cherokee and a Unified Northern syllabaries.It was through participation in the UTC that I became aware of the issues presented by scripts with combining and/or context dependent characters, directionality, scripts not yet supported by Unicode, etc. Not all my work was pure Operating Systems and their internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n), I worked at SRI during the transitions from hosttables to the DNS and participated in the efforts that lead to the NTIA's selection of ICANN as a contractor. I contributed to the IETF working groups on domain registration and internationalized domain names, and have worked for registries and registrars over the past decade and a half, and have participated in ICANN through the GNSO and through At-Large. My SOI is here: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Eric+Brunner-Williams+SOI Enough about me, please, and on to the work. I encourage those of you who are not attending ICANN-52 to follow the IDN Root Zone LGR workshop session, as the experiences of the Arabic Script group will inform those of us working on the Latin Script, and the presentations by Wil Tan and Michel Suignard will be of general interest. Those who are attending ICANN-52 I strongly urge they attend the IDN Root Zone LGR workshop, and get to know each other during this opportunity for face-to-face interaction. Please note that the IDN Root Zone LGR workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11th, at 13:00 UTC+8. For those east of the Atlantic Ocean -- Europe, Africa, Asia -- the meeting will in fact take place on Wednesday, February 11th, at 13:00 UTC+8 For those west of the Atlantic Ocean -- the Americas -- the meeting will in fact take place the previous day, e.g., at 9pm in Los Angeles (UTC-8). I thank you all for volunteering for this important, and quite vast undertaking, as Latin script forms the basis for languages from Abenaki (spoken in Northern New England & Quebec and the Maritimes) to Vietnamese, in each inhabited continent of the globe. Staff has been kind enough to forward to me each of your SOIs and/or CVs, and I will be writing each of you in the next few days.

[lgr] FW: ICANN News Alert -- Generation Panel for the Armenian Script ‭Root Zone‬ Label Generation Rules (LGR) Seated‬‬‬‬
by Sarmad Hussain Feb. 4, 2015

Feb. 4, 2015

Dear All, FYI: Armenian Generation Panel is seated and have started their work. Thanks to the hard work the panel members have put in so far. Regards, Sarmad <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-02-03-en _____ Generation Panel for the Armenian Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) Seated 3 February 2015 ICANN is pleased to announce that the Generation Panel for the Armenian Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) has been seated. Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> published on 11 July 2013, the Armenian script community has developed and submitted to ICANN, on 27 January 2015, the Proposal for the Generation Panel for the Armenian Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone. ICANN staff has reviewed the proposal including panel composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the LGR Procedure <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> , and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> , are fulfilled. On behalf of ICANN, we would like to use this opportunity to thank each of the members for offering their time and expertise to volunteer for the Armenian Script Generation Panel. With composition and work plan approved, the Armenian Script Generation Panel will start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> , the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with it's first version (MSR-1 <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-06-20-en> ) released on 20 June 2014 and the second version (MSR-2 <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/msr-2014-12-15-en> ) currently under community review. The full specification of Generation Panel's tasks can be found in the LGR Procedure <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation Procedure". ICANN will provide a central public location workspace on the project website <https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Armenian+Script+GP> , where Armenian Script Generation Panel proposal, composition, work plan updates, public reports, contact details, and any other relevant information will be included. As a reminder, and to highlight the importance of script community involvement required in the development of the IDN Root Zone LGR, we would like to reiterate the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> . A successful development of the IDN Root Zone LGR depends on having Generation Panels for each script represented in the Root Zone. In the IDN Root Zone LGR development, in addition to ongoing efforts with the Arabic, Armenian and Chinese scripts, Generation Panel formation is expected to cover other scripts including Bengali, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Latin, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thai and Tibetan. For further information on how to form a Generation Panel or to express individual or group statements of interest for the establishment of a Generation Panel, please refer to the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> and to the additional supporting documentation provided on the Root Zone LGR Project website <https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Root+Zone+LGR+Proje…> . <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/track.php?msgid=958338&act=95OV&r=27296433&c=…> _______________________________________________ lgr mailing list lgr(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/lgr

Odg: Re: Working Plan of Cyrillic GP. Draft 1.0
by Dusan Stojicevic Jan. 6, 2015

Jan. 6, 2015

Dear all, Sense of Macedonian, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonian cyrilic alphabet is - one letter one sound. Above that, there are another similarities in a language. Personaly, I do not know the Belorusian cyrilic, but if this is a sense of this alphabet as well - we can cross our results with them. My suggestion was not only phonetics, maybe I was not so clear in my previous mail. My suggestion was that crossing results in early stage where the cyrilic scripts are similar could produce better results. I was only giving the example with those three countries. I am aware of point 3.5, but to me - it is to far. And, of course, this was only a suggestion, and for consideration. Thanks, Dusan Poslato iz Samsung MobileYuriy Kargapolov <yvk(a)uanic.info> je napisao/la:Dear Dusan, To my mind, there are no problems for union of members from Balkan region in a "small group", if you decide that it makes sense. If someone of GP members will decide that it makes sense for join to any "small group" - ok; I think we should welcome participation of experts in working process. Of course, taking in account comment of Michael.
