by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Jan. 24, 2014

Jan. 24, 2014

Dear Colleagues, The Task Force on Arabic Script IDNs (TF-AIDN) is requesting feedback on the Arabic Script Generation Panel Proposal for the Root Zone (Proposal for Generation Panel for Arabic Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/43976436/Arabic%20Script%2…>). Please send comments to ArabicGP(a)icann.org by 12 February 2014. The Task Force invites comments on the proposal and welcomes new members. Interested parties can apply to join the Task Force by emailing a CV and Statement of Interest to tf-aidn-admin(a)meswg.org. Heads-Up: The At-Large IDN Working Group Meeting in March 2014 (during ICANN's 49th Public Meeting in Singapore) will include an update and discussion with the Task Force (and possibly other Generation Panels) and will also touch on the topic of universal acceptance of IDNs. *Brief Background* The Arabic script is used for writing a diverse set of languages spoken across the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, West Asia and East Asia. The languages include Arabic, Malay, Pashto, Persian, Punjabi, Sindhi, Seraiki, Torwa and Urdu. The Task Force was established as a response to ICANN's call for interested language communities to form Generation Panels that work on developing proposals on Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone pertaining to specific scripts. The status of ICANN's Root Zone Label Generation Rules Project can be found here: https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Project+Status+Upda…. Other language communities currently working on forming Generation Panels include the Han script community (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Neo-Brahmi and Cyrillic. Best regards, Rinalia Abdul Rahim Vice Chair, ICANN At-Large IDN Working Group Executive Council Member, ISOC Malaysia Chapter

New Procedure for the DNS Root Zone Affecting Linguistic Diversity at the Top Level
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Nov. 11, 2013

Nov. 11, 2013

Dear Colleagues, At the recent Internet Governance Forum in Bali, a workshop was held to share information and discuss implications of a new procedure that will affect the DNS root zone and allow the delegation of IDN variants at the top level. Variants are considered important for many languages used by the global population. Attached is the full report and I paste below the summary of the issues discussed for your information. Best regards, Rinalia ----- Note: · The process of implementing the procedure is currently underway with the most immediate need being the establishment of Generation Panels for 17 scripts that have IDN TLDs requested under two TLD programs - the country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Fast Track program and the New generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) program. Prioritization of the 17 scripts does not exclude other script communities from moving forward to form Generation Panels. The 17 scripts that have IDN TLDs requested are: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Georgian, Greek, Gujerati and Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu and Thai. A significant proportion of the scripts are Asian language scripts. *Main Issues Raised * *Spillover benefits of the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) development * · The development of the Root Zone LGR, though focused on the top level of the Root system, has applicability at the second and third levels in terms of guidance for dealing with variants. · The ICANN rights protection mechanism for trademark owners in the new gTLD program is currently not addressing variants in an integrated way due to the legacy mentality of only thinking in terms of Latin script and ASCII for solutions. · The Root Zone LGR is expected to guide ICANN’s implementation of key TLD initiatives involving variants in the future. *The complexity of variant management * · Variants are complex and what is defined as variants tends to differ from language to language. · Visual similarity is a major concern that is shared across languages and scripts. Complex scripts with characters that change shapes depending on adjoining characters require a rendering engine at the Operating System and browser level for accurate visual representation. · Challenges in grappling with variants include achieving consistency across and within TLDs, dealing with the innumerability of variants, having the right tools to deal with the technical challenges of managing IDNs and ensuring that IDNs are usable in applications used by users. · Variant management at the Registry level requires deciding whether variants should resolve or point to the same IP address. There is no one size fits all solution. The decision is dependent on three variables: locale, registry and user community. Variations may be needed across registries to achieve consistency of variants. · Language communities have recommended to ICANN that variants should be allocated to the same TLD applicants and not to different applicants to avoid confusion and ensure consistency of user experience. *The challenge of universal acceptance of IDNs* · With the implementation of the Root Zone LGR procedure, the most important concern for the user community is the universal acceptance of IDNs and IDN variants. Software intended for end users such as web browsers, email clients and operating system needs to support IDN and IDN variants to ensure a positive user experience. · The introduction of IDN TLD and IDN Variant TLD to Internet users will realistically not be smooth and is likely to encounter some barriers and difficulties. Historically it has been extremely challenging to ensure universal acceptance - some of the labels introduced with the new TLD expansion in 2001 still do not work consistently everywhere. There are various points of potential failures in enabling universal acceptance. The problem lies not with the DNS, but with applications. · ICANN has highlighted the issues of universal acceptance in its Report on “Examining the User Experience Implications of Active Variant TLDs” ( http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/variant-tlds/active-ux-21mar13-en.pdf ). The Joint ccNSO-GNSO Internationalized Domain Names Working Group (JIG) at ICANN believes that industry-wide collaboration involving the technical and user communities is essential to address the problem of universal acceptance effectively. · Concrete policy recommendations to address the problem of universal acceptance include: (1) Discourage systems that do not accommodate IDN and IDN Variants; (2) Develop ways of identifying what is a legitimate IDN TLD label; (3) Encourage IDN TLD Operators and Accredited Registrars to ensure that they support universal acceptance of IDN TLDs in their own systems; (4) Advocate for universal acceptance, raise awareness and provide reference/learning materials. *Language community engagement and mobilization issues* · The Root Zone LGR procedure puts in place an open process that is welcoming and embracing of all languages that have been encoded in Unicode. Engagement in the process requires that language communities be aware of the initiative, be interested to engage and be ready to mobilize their respective communities to fulfill the requirements for forming Generation Panels. · The Arabic, Brahmi/Devanagari and Han script communities are already mobilizing to form Generation Panels. They comprise large language communities that are prepared for engagement because of their previous engagements with ICANN via case studies that led to the development of the Root Zone LGR procedure. Securing the involvement of smaller language communities that have not engaged with ICANN before is a challenge without dedicated or targeted outreach, which is essential to nurture interest and support readiness. · The disadvantage to late entrants or language communities that are not able to engage can potentially be addressed by the Integration Panel, which can produce Label Generation Rules for certain languages without waiting for proposals from Generation Panels, provided that the languages are in active use and are encoded in Unicode. · The Chinese language community experience in making the first proposal for IDN Variant management in 2000 offers the following principles to guide the implementation of the Root Zone LGR procedure: (1) Adopt an open language community concept (i.e., if you speak the language, you are part of the language community irrespective of territorial/country jurisdiction); (2) Adopt a bottom up and consensus-based decision-making and dispute resolution model for the language communities; (3) Ensure that permissible code points are those that are acceptable to the user community. *Importance of the ICANN Public Comments for the Root Zone LGR procedure* · The Root Zone LGR procedure specifies the ICANN Public Comments as the only governance oversight and appeals mechanism for the decisions of the Integration Panel. Generation Panels will essentially engage in a public negotiation process with the Integration Panel through the Public Comments process. The openness of the process allows for input from other stakeholders/interested parties for the Integration Panel’s consideration. · Via the Public Comments process, the Integration Panel is required to defend its decisions in an open and transparent way and in a sufficiently rigorous manner (i.e., provide defensible rationale for its decisions against high standards of scrutiny/challenge). Should the Integration Panel fail in this respect, ICANN is empowered to act to have the Panel replaced. · The Public Comments process still has certain weaknesses such as impediments to the effective participation/input of relevant stakeholders in a timely manner. The ICANN Accountability and Transparency Review Team 2 is currently addressing issues related to improvements of the Public Comments process. END

Fwd: IGF 2013 APRALO-ICANN Workshop on Next in IDNs
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Oct. 23, 2013

Oct. 23, 2013

Hello, everyone. Please join us for the ICANN-APRALO workhop at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) on 23 October 2013. *IGF Workshop #32 - **Next in IDNs: Linguistic Diversity in the Internet Root* Date: 23 October 2013 (Wednesday) Time: 14:30 - 16:00 local time (UTC 0630 - 0800) Room: Room #1, Nusa Dua Hall 2, Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) *Workshop Title* Next in IDNs: Linguistic Diversity in the Internet Root *Workshop Theme* The Internet as Engine of Growth and Development *Workshop Organizers* APRALO – Asia Pacific Australasia Regional At-Large Organization ICANN – Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers *Workshop Description* The introduction of IDN variants in the root zone serves to enhance the Internet’s multilingualism and cultural diversity at the level of Top Level Domains (TLDs). The ICANN community has studied the viability of this introduction and has developed a process that will make it a reality. This process has implications for language communities. Language communities that share a script (e.g., Chinese, Japanese and Korean, which share the Han script) must agree on rules related to variant script characters in order to proceed. Furthermore, while allowing language communities to self-mobilize and proceed at their own pace, there are advantages to being an early participant or first mover. This process of allocating Variant TLDs in the Internet root* *requires language communities to collaborate and will require effective facilitation. This joint APRALO-ICANN workshop will provide an overview of the ICANN process, discuss the issues implicating language communities and outline the way forward. *Key Discussion Questions* *Process* – What is the process and what are the structural constraints of the process? How was the multistakeholder model deployed in the development of the process and how will it evolve in moving forward? How will language and technical communities be engaged? *Variants *– What are the key variant issues for scripts such as Arabic, Han, Indic, Latin and Cyrillic that have a large community of users worldwide and whose script is shared across different language communities and across national borders? What variant issues can realistically be addressed within the structural constraints of the process? *Community* - How can the readiness of language communities for IDN Variant TLDs be supported? How can the disadvantage to late entrants be minimized? What models of engagement can be used to support the collaboration of language communities that transcend national borders? What best practice models of dispute resolution can be deployed to address disputes among language communities that span the globe? * * *Workshop Role-Players* *A.

ICANN News Alert -- Selection of Integration Panel for the IDN Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR)
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Sept. 7, 2013

Sept. 7, 2013

Fyi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "ICANN At-Large Staff" <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Sep 7, 2013 1:00 AM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] FW: ICANN News Alert -- Selection of Integration Panel for the IDN Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) To: "alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org" < alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: [http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-06sep13-en.htm ________________________________ Selection of Integration Panel for the IDN Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) 6 September 2013 ICANN is pleased to announce that the Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) Variant Top Level Domain (TLD) Program has completed the selection of the Integration Panel for the IDN Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR). We received many applications from well-qualified individuals and we thank all the applicants for their interest in the IDN Variant TLD Program. The Integration Panel is a vital component in the implementation of the Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels< http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/variant-tlds/draft-lgr-procedure-20ma…> [PDF, 1.39 MB] (the Procedure), and its success depends on having Integration Panel members with the right skills to perform the substantive work. The Procedure defines a two-pass process for the creation of IDN label generation rules (LGR) for the root zone. These rules are used to determine sets of potential "variants" of a given label that may be afforded specific treatment in the various root zone processes. ICANN published the Call for Subject Matter Experts for IDN Root Zone LGR Integration Panel and Advisors to All Panels< http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-06jun13-en.htm> on 6 June 2013. In response, ICANN received 22 eligible submissions and utilized the following selection process: 1. ICANN reviewed the candidates' submissions against the predefined criteria. The selection criteria were shared with the candidates and candidates were given the opportunity to provide any additional information in support of their candidature: * The selection criteria for members of the Integration Panel included at least one area of primary expertise in Unicode, Linguistics and Writing Systems, Domain Name System (DNS) and IDNA. * The selection process also took into account secondary experience the candidates had in those same areas of expertise. * In addition, the selection criteria required demonstrable ability and experience to perform systematic and detailed analysis of large data sets and to produce accurate and comprehensive results, have prior work experience, and demonstrated ability to advocate positions and build group consensus. 2. Each selection criterion was assigned a score. The evaluation team ranked each candidate's submission in relation to the selection criteria. The process allowed the evaluation team to identify the candidates who best satisfied the selection criteria. 3. Based on the scores for each of the candidates, the evaluation team arrived at a list of the most suitable candidates. For each area of expertise, the evaluation team reviewed the top candidates and made the final selection based on the aggregate expertise of the panel to ensure that all areas had appropriate representation. Selected panel members are listed below: * Marc Blanchet * Asmus Freytag * Michel Suignard * Nicholas Ostler * Wil Tan Integration Panel members are expected to serve an initial term through June 2014. Responsibilities of the Integration Panel members are stated in the Procedure and the call for subject matter experts< http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-3-06jun13-en.htm>. The decisions by the integration Panel are required to be unanimous. Expert advisors are available to the Integration Panel to aid its deliberations. These advisors aid the Integration Panel by lending their subject matter expertise, based on specific requests from the Panel. Using the same selection criteria as used for Panel members, the following advisor has been selected: * Michael Everson The selected Advisor will serve an initial term through June 2014. Additional advisors may be added at a later time as requested by the Panel and as specified in the Procedure. The Integration Panel will undertake the work through periodic conference calls and face-to-face meetings. The first face-to-face meeting is planned for early October 2013. Initial work includes preparing the maximal set of code points and default whole label variant evaluation rules for the root zone. This will serve as a starting point for the community Generation Panels, the second part in the two-pass process.
