Hi Sarmad, I have seen Ajay Data during Domain Name Association meetings and he is an active speaker and participant and brings lot of experience. In general, it appears that both candidates have been involved in other ICANN initiatives and have great knowledge/expertise in IDNs I don't have any objection with the two candidates joining as members. Others: Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Dear All,
Based on our discussion today, please find below the candidates who have requested to join the RZ-LGR-SG. Kindly advise if you are Ok for them to join and, in that case, whether they be invited as observers or members.
1. Ajay Data; He has not shared details, however, these can be found at https://icannwiki.org/Ajay_Data. He is co-chairing the Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel, which is developing the Root Zone LGR proposal for nine scripts from South Asia. 2. Dessalegn Mequanint Yehuala; SOI attached. Dessalegn chaired the Ethiopic Generation Panel, which has finalized its work.
Please let me know if you need any additional information to help you make the decision.

Dear All,
We are finalizing UTC 1400 on Thursdays as the meeting time. We will have our first meeting on April 2018. I will share the meeting invitation and information on how to connect shortly.
We are also anticipating getting possible nominations from IAB for this study group later this week. We are not sure if the new nominees will be able to join this week.
Here are possible topics we would like the Study Group to consider in their initial meeting:
1. How to organize the study group (chair? Co-chair?) 2. Consider additional community members interested but not nominated by SOs/ACs? If yes, as observers or members? 3. Have an initial discussion on the scope and plan of work? 4. AOB
We look forward to talking to you soon.
Regards, Sarmad

Dear All,
We are ready to convene the Expert Group to Study the Application of Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR-SG).
I have put up a Doodle poll at https://doodle.com/poll/ eahtrtntznqw3sn3[doodle.com] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__doodle.com_poll_eahtrtn...> to set up a time for our meetings. As suggested in the call for this study group, we will be meeting weekly, as we have an aggressive timeline to finalize the recommendations by ICANN 63, to submit to the ICANN Board.
We have set up a wiki page at https://community.icann.org/ display/croscomlgrprocedure/Application+of+RZ-LGR[community.icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, which lists all the members and an initial set of items to address.
Please respond to the doodle poll this week. Please try to fill in as many options as are feasible for you – so that we can find at least one time slot which is ok for everybody on this list.
Once we have the time and day set up, we will email further details on how to join the call online.
We look forward to assisting you through the process. Please let us know if you have any queries or feedback.
Regards, Sarmad
