Dear All,

Please find attached the summary of the discussion during the meeting on 27 August 2018.

The action items are given below:

S. No.	Action Items	Owner
1	Start a Google Document for recommendations	DT
2	Review Recommendation 1 item 6 on pg. 9 of SSAC 052 report for further discussion on scope item 2.a.	ALL
3	Develop a recommendation on how to deal with self-identified variant labels for ccTLDs and gTLDs	ALL
4	Review the existing recommendations and analysis	ALL

The following possible recommendations were identified:

• Existing gTLDs and ccTLDs should be valid through RZ-LGR. 
• Variant labels of existing gTLDs and ccTLDs must be identified using RZ-LGR.  Such variant labels should not be allocated to a different applicant, following the IDN variant TLD management process
• RZ-LGR calculations should be applied equally for validation and variant labels of gTLDs and ccTLDs. 
• Based on the calculations of RZ-LGR, the follow-up additional constraints can be different between gTLD and ccTLD, as per the policies and processes for gTLDs and ccTLDs respectively.
• RZ-LGR will be used for determining variant labels for reserved labels, which should also be incorporated in the list of reserved labels.

These meeting notes and the recording of the session have been posted at the wiki page of the study group at: https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Study+Group+on+Technical+Use+of+RZ-LGR.
