A successful development of the Root Zone LGR depends on having Generation Panels for each script represented in the Root Zone. In addition to ongoing efforts with the Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, Khmer and Neo-Brahmi, Generation Panel formation is expected to cover other scripts including Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Korean, Lao, Latin, Myanmar, Sinhala, Thai and Tibetan.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>For further information on how to form a Generation Panel, please refer to the <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en">Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules</a> and to the additional supporting documentation provided on the <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Root+Zone+LGR+Project">Root Zone LGR Project website</a>.

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
