I support the publication of the new Reference Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Javanese script and the proposed update to the Arabic script Reference LGR that introduces additional characters required for the Pegon writing system in Indonesia.

The inclusion of Javanese and Pegon in the Second-Level Reference LGR framework represents an important step toward a more multilingual, inclusive, and culturally diverse Internet. Both writing systems have significant historical, educational, religious, and cultural value for millions of users in Indonesia. Their recognition within the IDN ecosystem will help ensure that these scripts can be used in domain names in a secure, predictable, and technically consistent manner.

The Javanese script is an important part of Indonesia’s cultural heritage and continues to be promoted through education, digital preservation initiatives, and local government programs. Similarly, Pegon remains widely used in Islamic educational institutions, religious literature, and cultural documentation throughout Indonesia. Supporting these writing systems through Reference LGRs strengthens opportunities for local communities to access and create digital content using their native scripts.

I appreciate the collaborative work between ICANN org and the relevant language and script communities in developing these proposals. The adoption of these LGRs will contribute to the broader goals of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), Universal Acceptance, and equitable participation in the global Internet.

Therefore, I recommend that ICANN proceed with the publication and implementation of the Javanese script Reference LGR and the Pegon-related Arabic script updates after considering community feedback. These additions will enhance linguistic diversity while maintaining the security, stability, and interoperability of the DNS.
