These policies, known as "Label Generation Rulesets" (LGRs), are used for the implementation of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), for example. The rulesets are used to implement and share that aspect of policy defining which labels and specific Unicode code points are permitted for registrations, which alternative code points are considered variants, and what actions may be performed on labels containing those variants. This document has been adopted by the LAGER WG as a WG draft. Posting at request of the chairs. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org. The IETF Secretariat

The main aim of the Panel is to treat all Latin-based languages in a similar manner in terms of Label Generation Rule (LGR) formation. Interested candidates need to submit a covering email to idntlds(a)icann.org<mailto:idntlds@icann.org> along with the following attachments: 1. Expression of interest 2.
