[lgr] ICANN Public Comment Proceeding: Root Zone Label Generation Rules Version 5
by Pitinan Kooarmornpatana via lgr March 25, 2022

March 25, 2022

Dear All, The public comment proceeding for Root Zone Label Generation Rules Version 5 (RZ-LGR-5) is now open for public comment. Please visit the Public comment page at https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/root-zone-label-generati…. Following scripts have been integrated to the RZ-LGR-5: Arabic, Armenian, Bangla, Chinese (Han), Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese [Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji (Han)], Kannada, Khmer, Korean [Hangul and Hanja (Han)], Lao, Latin, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai. Kindly review if your script LGR has been integrated into the RZ-LGR-5 as expected. Feedback from Generation Panels and script communities are essential for finalizing the RZ-LGR. Please share your confirmation if it has been integrated properly, or kindly share any feedback or comment on the integration. Best Regards, Pitinan Kooarmornpatana ICANN ……………………. ICANN Public Comment Proceeding: Root Zone Label Generation Rules Version 5<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-public-comment-proceed…> 24 March 2022 Link to Public Comment Proceeding: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/root-zone-label-generati… What We Need Your Input On Recently, the Generation Panels (GPs) for Greek, Latin, Japanese, Korean, and Myanmar scripts have finalized their proposals for Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR) after Public Comment. In addition, the Armenian and Cyrillic script GPs have also finalized their proposals, which were deferred from including them in RZ-LGR by the Integration Panel (IP), because they were related to Greek and Latin scripts. The IP has successfully evaluated the RZ-LGR proposals<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lgr-proposals-2015-12-01-en> for these scripts and integrated them, along with other scripts into the current RZ-LGR version, to develop the fifth version (RZ-LGR-5). As per the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf>, RZ-LGR-5 is being released for Public Comment to gather community feedback for its finalization. Proposals for additional scripts will be integrated into future versions of RZ-LGR. Background Community-based GPs organize and develop proposals for the RZ-LGR for their respective scripts or writing systems as per the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.…>. In doing so, the GPs may need to coordinate efforts with other GPs whenever their repertoires either overlap or are closely related. Script proposals are finalized after Public Comment proceedings and then are submitted to the Integration Panel (IP) for evaluation. The successfully evaluated proposals are integrated into the next version of RZ-LGR. In the LGR Procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.…>, it states that the IP creates a set of recommended rules that integrates all the approved proposals from the GPs. When the IP has created such a set, it is posted for Public Comment using the prevailing ICANN procedures. At the end of the Public Comment period, the IP receives and reviews the Public Comment to finalize the LGR. The resulting rules become the RZ-LGR. RZ-LGR-5 covers the following scripts: Arabic, Armenian, Bangla, Chinese (Han), Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese [Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji (Han)], Kannada, Khmer, Korean [Hangul and Hanja (Han)], Lao, Latin, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai. Next Steps As per the LGR Procedure, RZ-LGR-5 is being released for Public Comment to gather community feedback for its finalization. Proposals for additional scripts will be integrated into future versions of RZ-LGR. _______________________________________________ lgr mailing list lgr(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/lgr _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.

March 18, 2022

Dear Yin May, Thin Zar, and Myanmar GP members, Congratulations! We’d like to inform you that the IP has reviewed the final version of the Myanmar script RZ-LGR and voted that it can be moved forward to integration into the RZ-LGR-5. The document status on the proposal page<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lgr-proposals-2015-12-01-en> has been updated to “Pending integration in RZ-LGR”. As a next step, RZ-LGR-5 with Myanmar script LGR integrated will be released for the public comment, opening on 24th March. We will inform you when the proceeding is open and we would need the GP to review and feedback if the Myanmar script proposal has been integrated correctly. Again, congratulations! It has been a great effort from the all of you. We look forward to celebrating it in person with you soon! Regards, Pitinan

The Myanmar script RZ-LGR proposal is being released for the public comment
by Pitinan Kooarmornpatana Feb. 28, 2022

Feb. 28, 2022

Dear Myanmar GP members, First of all, happy new year 2022. We wish you all a great year ahead! We’d like to congratulate the Myanmar GP for archiving an important milestone: the Myanmar script RZ-LGR proposal is being announced<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/proposal-for-myanmar-script-…> for the public comment. Please visit the public comment proceeding page<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposal-for-myanmar-scr…> to submit your comments and please help disseminate the Public Comment proceeding to relevant Myanmar script user communities. Best Regards, Pitinan Proposal for Myanmar Script Root Zone Label Generation Rules Get alerts about this proceeding<https://subscribe.icann.org/subscriptions/public-comment/fc1e17b5-0f59-4cc3…> CategoryTechnical RequestersICANN org ICANN org Contact(s)pitinan.koo(a)icann.org<mailto:pitinan.koo@icann.org> What We Need Your Input On Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/root-zone-lgr-2015-06-21-en>) define a conservative mechanism to determine valid Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) top-level domains (TLDs) and their variant labels. The successful development of RZ-LGR depends on having community-based Generation Panels (GPs) develop proposals for their script. The Myanmar Script GP has finalized the proposal for Myanmar Script RZ-LGR. The proposal is being published for Public Comment before being finalized. The proposal will be finalized based on community input and submitted to the Integration Panel for review and possible integration into the next version of RZ-LGR<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/root-zone-lgr-2015-06-21-en>. Please review and provide your comments regarding the code point repertoire, variant code point definitions, and the rules proposed in the proposal.

The role of a GP is to identify valid characters, variant code points, and Whole Label Evaluation (WLE) rules for the given script or writing system. Each GP starts by considering the code points for the relevant script that are present in the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/msr-2015-06-21-en>) and develops an LGR proposal to generate top-level domain (TLD) labels for that script. In doing so, the GP may need to coordinate efforts with other GPs for the scripts which are closely related. Script LGR proposals are reviewed by the community through a Public Comment proceeding and then by an expert Integration Panel for approval and integration into the next version of RZ-LGR<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/root-zone-lgr-2015-06-21-en>. The details of this process are defined in the LGR procedure<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf>. Currently, LGRs for the following 18 scripts have been completed<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lgr-proposals-2015-12-01-en> and integrated into the fourth version of RZ-LGR: Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai. Multiple script proposals have also been completed and are waiting to be integrated including Armenian, Cyrillic, Japanese, and Korean. In addition, Greek and Latin GPs are finalizing their LGR proposals following the Public Comment proceedings. Next Steps Following the Public Comment period, the Myanmar Script GP will make any necessary changes to the proposal based on the community feedback. The GP will then submit the final proposal for evaluation to the Integration Panel. If the proposal is successfully evaluated, it will be integrated into the next version of the RZ-LGR<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/root-zone-lgr-2015-06-21-en>. If not, the proposal will be sent back to the Myanmar Script GP with comments for further consideration and revision.
