FYI From: ICANN News Alert [mailto:communications@icann.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 11:32 PM To: Sarmad Hussain Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Community using Neo-Brahmi Scripts Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-05-26-en _____ Community using Neo-Brahmi Scripts Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) 26 May 2015 ICANN is pleased to announce the formation of the Generation Panel to develop Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone for nine Neo-Brahmi scripts. Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> , on 15 May 2015 the Neo-Brahmi script community submitted to ICANN the Proposal for Generation Panel for Neo-Brahmī Scripts Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/neo-brahmi-lgr-proposal-26may15…> [PDF, 1.55 MB], covering Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil and Telugu scripts. 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> [PDF, 772 KB], 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 Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel," said Sarmad Hussain from the IDN Program at ICANN, "and also look forward to the active contribution from the script communities not yet seated." With composition and work plan approved, the Neo-Brahmi 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> [PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its second version (MSR-2 <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en> ) released on 27 April 2015. 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> [PDF, 772 KB] in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation Procedure". ICANN has provided a central public workspace <https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Neo-Brahmi+GP> on the project website where Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel 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 Root Zone LGR depends on having Generation Panels for each script represented in the Root Zone. In addition to ongoing efforts with the Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Japanese and Neo-Brahmi, Generation Panel formation is expected to cover other scripts including Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Latin, Myanmar, Sinhala, Thai and Tibetan. For further information on how to form 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…> .

[lgr] FW: ICANN News Alert -- Guidelines for Designing Script-Specific Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone
by Sarmad Hussain May 7, 2015

May 7, 2015

Dear All, Kindly see the updated guidelines for developing LGR proposals. These documents also point to detailed technical documents. Regards, Sarmad From: ICANN News Alert [mailto:communications@icann.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 4:08 AM To: Sarmad Hussain Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Guidelines for Designing Script-Specific Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone <http://www.icann.org/> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2015-04-27-en _____ Guidelines for Designing Script-Specific Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone 27 April 2015 ICANN is releasing a set of documents that present an overview of the tasks of a Generation Panel as well as additional orientation and guidance. They include: * Guidelines <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Guidelines-for-LGR-20150424.pdf> [PDF, 359 KB] and Considerations <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Considerations-for-LGR-20150424…> [PDF, 187 KB] for designing script-specific Label Generation Rules (LGR) for integration into the Root Zone, * A summary of the Requirements <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Requirements-for-LGR-Proposals-…> [PDF, 624 KB] on format and contents for submitting an LGR proposal. The overview and guidelines are based on the prescription in the Procedure to Develop and Maintain Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone With Respect to IDN Labels <https://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/variant-tlds/lgr-procedure-20mar13-e…> [PDF, 772 KB] (the Procedure); they do not supersede the Procedure as the authoritative definition of the process for developing and maintaining a label generation ruleset for the Root Zone. Instead, they intend to give practical guidance as well as a focused overview of the tasks involved in creating a single-script LGR for integration into the Root Zone LGR. As the first Generations Panels have been formed and begun to take up their work under the Procedure, a number of issues have been raised that demanded further clarification as well as suggested the need for explanation of some of the provisions of the Procedure. To this end, the overview and guideline documents intend to provide a succinct summary of the tasks of a Generation Panel together with practical guidelines on how best to accomplish them. They are intended as adjunct to, and as help in, reading of the Procedure, which otherwise remains the authoritative description of the process. The output of the work of a Generation Panel is a set of Label Generation Rules (LGR) for a given script (or multiple LGRs in case a panel works on more than one script). These are to be released for public comments and finally submitted to the Integration Panel for review and integration into the Root Zone LGR. In order to facilitate the review, the Integration Panel has released a document describing the expected format and organization of an LGR proposal and Generation Panels are expected to submit LGR proposals that adhere to these Requirements <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Requirements-for-LGR-Proposals-…> [PDF, 624 KB]. These include, in particular, further details on how to create a formal specification of an LGR using the XML Format for Representing Label Generation Rules. Finally, the Guidelines <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Guidelines-for-LGR-20150424.pdf> [PDF, 359 KB] collect in one place a set of references to various technical documents that Generation Panels might need to consult in doing their work. The guidelines and associated documents are: * Guidelines-for-LGR-20150424 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Guidelines-for-LGR-20150424.pdf> [PDF, 359 KB] * Considerations-for-LGR-20150424 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Considerations-for-LGR-20150424…> [PDF, 187 KB] * Requirements-for-LGR-Proposals-20150424 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/Requirements-for-LGR-Proposals-…> [PDF, 624 KB] This message was sent to sarmad.hussain(a)icann.org <mailto:sarmad.hussain@icann.org> from: ICANN News Alert | communications(a)icann.org <mailto:communications@icann.org> | ICANN | 12025 Waterfront Drive Suite 300 | Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 Email Marketing by <http://www.icontact.com/a.pl/144186> <http://app.icontact.com/icp/mmail-mprofile.pl?r=27296433&l=6333&s=95OV&m=96…>Manage Your Subscription <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/track.php?msgid=963976&act=95OV&r=27296433&c=…> _______________________________________________ lgr mailing list lgr(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/lgr
