Khmer Script Community Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Root Zone
Label Generation Rules (LGR)

17 June 2015

ICANN is pleased to announce the formation of the Generation Panel to
develop Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone for Khmer script.

Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label
Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> ,
on 4 June 2015 the Khmer script community submitted to ICANN the Proposal
for the Generation Panel for the Khmer Script Label Generation Ruleset for
the Root Zone
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/khmer-script-lgr-proposal-17jun
15-en.pdf>  [PDF, 420 KB]. ICANN staff has reviewed the proposal including
panel composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the
LGR Procedure
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf>
[PDF, 772 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for
Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> , are fulfilled.

"On behalf of ICANN, we would like to thank Khmer script community members
for volunteering to develop the Khmer LGR proposal for the Root Zone," said
Sarmad Hussain from the IDN Program at ICANN, "and National Institute of
Posts, Telecommunications, and Information and Communication Technology of
Cambodia for hosting the panel."

With composition and work plan approved, the Khmer Generation Panel will
start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf>
[PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the
Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its second version (MSR-2
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en> ) released on 27
April 2015. The full specification of Generation Panel's tasks can be found
in the LGR Procedure
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf>
[PDF, 772 KB] in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation
Procedure".

ICANN has provided a central public workspace
<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Khmer+GP>  on the
project website where Khmer Generation Panel composition, work plan updates,
public reports, contact details, and any other relevant information will be
included.

As a reminder, and to highlight the importance of script community
involvement required in the development of the IDN Root Zone LGR, we would
like to reiterate the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label
Generation Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> . 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.

For further information on how to form a Generation Panel, please refer to
the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>  and to the
additional supporting documentation provided on the Root Zone LGR Project
website
<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Root+Zone+LGR+Proje
ct> . Individual interests may be emailed to idntlds at icann.org.

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. For more information
