Dear All, We would like to inform you that the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone Version 2 (RZ-LGR-2) has been released for public comment: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rz-lgr-2-2017-06-06-en. The second version of the Root Zone LGR integrates proposals from six scripts: Arabic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Lao, Thai and Khmer. Armenian script Generation Panel has also finalized their work but its proposal has been deferred from integration until proposals from related scripts are received. Please see the “Overview and Summary” document for more details: https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/lgr/lgr-2-overview-01jun17-en.pdf. We look forward to your review and comments.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate our appreciation for the efforts of many communities towards developing their root zone LGR proposals," said Sarmad Hussain. "We still have more work to do including organizing script panels for Hebrew, Myanmar, Sinhala and Tibetan. I encourage interested parties to lend their skills in support of this effort. There are currently LGR efforts underway by Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Latin and Neo-Brahmi communities. In addition, the Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Georgian, Khmer, Lao and Thai script communities have finalized their root zone LGR proposals[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, of which the Arabic script proposal has been integrated in the first edition of the Root Zone LGR[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>.
