The IP has integrated these proposals, along with Arabic script already integrated into the first version of the Root Zone LGR (RZ-LGR-1[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources...>), to develop the second version of the Root Zone LGR (RZ-LGR-2[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_sites_def...> [PDF, 891 KB]).
