Six Scripts Integrated into the Second Version of Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR-2)

6 June 2017

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today opened public comment on the second version of Root Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR-2) integrating six scripts: Arabic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Khmer, Lao and Thai.

The Root Zone LGR will be used to determine valid top-level Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) labels and their variant labels, if any. Work is underway by the community-based Generation Panels[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_pages_generation-2Dpanel-2D2015-2D06-2D21-2Den&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=bO6SgwD6H355wUJrB6g2KDOuSbkMRLt63Ypw5vOAnA4&s=ymtZZI0HeaH_L3zMJNLTicltgnH0VcStAcwogz2_9Ps&e=> on proposals for additional scripts to be integrated in the future versions of the Root Zone LGR. These include Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Latin and Neo-Brahmi panels.

Generation Panels for more scripts, including Hebrew, Myanmar, Sinhala, Tibetan and Thaana are actively being solicited as per the Call for Generation Panels[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_announcement-2D2013-2D07-2D11-2Den&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=bO6SgwD6H355wUJrB6g2KDOuSbkMRLt63Ypw5vOAnA4&s=_f0GHJliEgRqBucRQg5Q0lvPuYXrvxGiRcG8hO6oMgU&e=>.
