For those interested in Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR). Fahd Batayneh ICANN Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2014 7:58 PM Subject: ICANN News Alert -- Update on Root Zone Label Generation Rule Generation Panel Formation <http://www.icann.org/> ICANN News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2014-06-21-en _____ Update on Root Zone Label Generation Rule Generation Panel Formation 20 June 2014 As we approach ICANN 50, ICANN is pleased to share the steady momentum of the development on the formation of Generation Panels for developing the script proposals. These script based panels – made up of Internet community volunteers – will propose the rules that define code points, variants and additional label level constraints for the Root Zone. The latest updates on Label Generation Rule (LGR) Generation Panels will be a key topic at the ICANN meeting in London, which takes place 22-26 June 2014. Progress to date includes: * The Arabic Script Generation Panel is fully formed and operational. The Panel had its second face to face meeting in June 2014, which took place in Istanbul, Turkey. Arabic script code point variants were discussed. * Members of the community have submitted a formal proposal to form the Chinese Generation Panel, which is currently under review. * There has been outreach activity in the Korean and Japanese script communities to form corresponding Generation Panels. * Community members involved with the Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) panels have initiated coordination efforts for the Han script. * Members of the community are actively organizing the Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel and recruiting members.
