Dear Latin GP members, The Second-Level Reference Label Generation Rules (Reference LGRs) for Seven additional scripts (Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, Latin, Japanese, Korean, and Myanmar) and other updated Reference LGRs are being released for Public Comment at https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/additional-script-based-r.... Reference LGRs help improve the transparency and consistency of the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) table review process and facilitate the registry operations of new gTLDs which offer IDN registration in these languages and scripts. Input from relevant language and script user community is very important to finalize these Reference LGRs. We’d like to draw you attention to review these Reference LGRs<https://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/packages/lgr/pc-ref-lgrs-html-xml-...>, especially the ones listed in the table below.

Blocked variants have been added for homoglyphs of ASCII letters. These have no effect unless the LGR is used together with LDH labels in the same zone.

Based on further review in connections with updates to the reference LGR for the French language, the addition of fallback variants between letters with diaeresis and their ASCII base letters appears indicated.
