FYI -ed [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Fourth Version of Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR-4) Published <https://newsalerts.icann.org/G2R0Eb208i0HC0dP0000gN2>* 06 November 2020 LOS ANGELES – 6 November 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today announced the publication of the fourth version of Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone <https://newsalerts.icann.org/I020IC80P0gjNd220b0RE00> (RZ-LGR-4). Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR) define a set of rules to determine valid Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) labels for the root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) and their variant labels. RZ-LGR-4 integrates 18 scripts, adding Chinese and Bangla scripts in this version, in addition to Arabic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Kannada, Khmer, Lao, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai. These rules were developed using the proposals submitted <https://newsalerts.icann.org/eN08JE02000RCb0202kPg0d> by the Generation Panels (GPs) formed for these scripts, which were finalized after Public Comment <https://newsalerts.icann.org/s0Kb0P208RNl0C020g20d0E> proceedings. The Armenian and Cyrillic script proposals have also been completed by the respective GPs but have been deferred from integration by the Integration Panel until proposals for related scripts are also finalized. RZ-LGR development follows the Procedure to Develop and Maintain the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in Respect of IDNA Labels <https://newsalerts.icann.org/j2mR022PC00080gNEdL0b00>. A total of 28 scripts have been identified in the Maximal Starting Repertoire <https://newsalerts.icann.org/uMN0008R0P0d0n02bg2CE20> for inclusion in RZ-LGR. The remaining scripts will be included in future releases of RZ-LGR as relevant proposals become available from the community.

Dear All, Maureen Hilyard, Chair of the ALAC, is requesting Expressions of Interest (EoIs) to represent the ALAC/At-Large on the NextGen Selection Committee and as a NextGen Mentor.

Legal vs. natural persons: The EPDP Team is expected to review the study <https://newsalerts.icann.org/SR0E2d08P000NCg0200d2uR> undertaken by ICANN organization (as requested by the EPDP Team and approved by the GNSO Council during Phase 1), legal guidance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/c00022gC0PNR02dEv08Sd00> provided by Bird & Bird, as well as the substantive input provided on this topic during the Public Comment forum on the addendum <https://newsalerts.icann.org/U2wg00E0PR0Cdd022N000T8>. The Team will then answer: 1. Whether any updates are required to the EPDP Phase 1 recommendation on this topic ("Registrars and Registry Operators are permitted to differentiate between registrations of legal and natural persons, but are not obligated to do so <https://newsalerts.icann.org/TxNCd0g020008RU20P02dE0>.", Rec. #17, EPDP Phase 1 Final Report <https://newsalerts.icann.org/TxNCd0g020008RU20P02dE0>) 2. What guidance, if any, can be provided to registrars and/or registries who differentiate between registrations of legal and natural persons. 2. In relation to feasibility of unique contacts to have a uniform anonymized email address, the EPDP Team is expected to review the legal guidance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/B200yC2EN00000dR08VPg2d> and consider specific proposals that provide sufficient safeguards to address issues flagged in the legal memo. Groups that requested additional time to consider this topic, which include the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), will be responsible to come forward with concrete proposals to address this topic. This consideration is expected to address: 1. Whether or not a uniform anonymized email address for unique contacts is feasible and, if feasible, whether it should be a requirement. 2. If feasible but not a requirement, what guidance, if any, can be provided to contracted parties who may want to implement uniform anonymized email addresses. For clarity, the GNSO Council is not directing any particular outcome on either topic. As manager of the policy development process (PDP), it is sharing its expectations for which questions should be addressed as part of the EPDP Team's deliberations. Consistent with the Policy Development Process Manual <https://newsalerts.icann.org/JR2PC20W2E0Nzd80dg00000>, the GNSO Council does expect that all the required steps are followed in the consideration of these issues. These steps may include further Public Comment on an Initial Report as well as a Final Report that would be considered an addendum to the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report. Additional information about the EPDP is located in Annex-A1 of the ICANN Bylaws <https://newsalerts.icann.org/wR8EN0dCP0000g2A0022X0d> and the EPDP Manual <https://newsalerts.icann.org/dd0Pg2YNd20E800R0B020C0>.

ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.

FINAL REMINDER: Join us at the FOURTH of the new NARALO Monthly Calls for FY'21 on November 9, 2020 @ 20h00 UTC
by Eduardo Diaz Nov. 4, 2020

Nov. 4, 2020

Please note that this meeting was originally scheduled for October 2020 but was moved to November 2020 due to conflicts with the ICANN69 AMG meeting. [image: Seminar Promotions.jpg] Evan Leibovitch will introduce the concept of domaining and offer perspectives on the practices' effects on registrants, business innovation, ICANN and the domain name system. He warns participants that this presentation's approach to domaining will be akin to a vegan's description of an abattoir; registrants will be offered advice on how to circumvent domainers in getting a useful domain name.

NEXT STEPS The Working Group will continue to review and analyze the input received through public comment with the objective of finalizing its recommendations and Final Report.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, the GNSO Council adopted the <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group first concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It then conducted initial deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. Following publication of the Working Group’s Initial Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, Supplemental Initial Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, and the Final Report produced by Work Track 5 <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…>, the Working Group reviewed public comments received on the Initial Report and Supplemental Initial Report, refined its outputs and published a draft Final Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001U-BQ5mcgXWrMRrH2an1xRd78K7B3SIHG9tfmRTc3aEdl…> for public comment. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.
