> Hi Everyone,
>
> After reading up on the posted document and the discussions that took
> place during the working group meetings last weekend here in Toronto, the
> following is a brief proposed set of points we could include in our
> response to the public comments process:
>
> Points commending the work of the project team:
> - Good progress since the beginning of Phase 2 of the VIP
> - Encouraged by the acceptance of an observer on the project team from
> ALAC (Rinalia)
> - The overall primary-secondary propose/check framework is sensible and is
> consistent with the community consensus that accepts the differences
> between language/script communities and provides for a process that allows
> them to go at their pace through the process.
>
> Points of concern:
> - The composition of the 2 panels as described appears problematic:
>         - lack of policy expertise
>         - technically biased even as we understand that the essence of the
> VIP work is to find the balance between policy and technical requirements
>         - secondary panel to be formed entirely of paid consultants of
> ICANN does the opposite of ensure non-conflict of interest
> - Secondary panel processes unchecked
>         - there is no review process for the secondary panel
>         - unanimity requirement in Secondary panel can open it for
> capture/blockade by a single person
> - Lack of consideration for how the processes would then be implemented
>         - considering audience at ICANN and what additional information
> need to be included (e.g. what is not included and why)
>         - first mover advantage not explained properly
>         - many of the viewers of the document could be TLD applicants (g
> or cc) and would be thinking how this affects/play in those processes,
> there is need to add information about this even in a simple form
>
>
> Sorry for sending this into the group so late.  Looking forward to
> discussing it further at our meeting.

> Comment Period Opens on 24 September 2012
>
> Categories/Tags:        Top-Level Domains
>
> Purpose (Brief):
>
> The Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Variant TLD Program deals with the
> variant form of top-level domain (TLD) names in different scripts. To
> enable IDN Variant TLDs in the root, it is necessary to establish the Label
> Generation Rules (LGR) for the DNS Root Zone.
>
> The Label Generation Rules Process is a way to develop and maintain the
> Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone in respect of IDNA labels.
>
> The process must be in place to enable the delegation and management of
> IDN Variant TLDs. The Label Generation Rules (LGR) Process project team,
> consisting of global volunteers with expert consultants and ICANN staff,
> has produced the first public draft of the LGR Process document. The team
> now seeks community input on the proposed process and the principles that
> support it.
>
> The Label Generation Rules (LGR) Process document will be discussed at a
> public session at the ICANN meeting in Toronto in October 2012. The session
> schedule will be available at ICANN Toronto Meeting Website (
> http://toronto45.icann.org/full-schedule). Comments received in this
> Public Comment period as well as community feedback during the Toronto
> meeting will be incorporated into the final draft and published for second
> round of Public Comment in November 2012.
