I would like to express my support for the publication and continued development of the Additional Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs) and related updates for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), including the new Reference LGRs for the Javanese and Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (UCAS) scripts, as well as updates to the Arabic, Inuktitut, Japanese, Latin, and Latin Full Variant set Reference LGRs.

These developments represent an important step toward a more multilingual, inclusive, and globally accessible Internet. By enabling broader support for diverse languages and writing systems, IDNs help strengthen digital inclusion, improve accessibility, and allow communities to participate online using their native languages and scripts. This is particularly significant for underserved and underrepresented communities whose linguistic and cultural identities have historically had limited representation in the Domain Name System (DNS).

I particularly welcome the progress made in supporting Javanese and Pegon scripts, which are important elements of Indonesia’s linguistic and cultural heritage and continue to be actively used by communities today. Their inclusion within the IDN framework provides greater opportunities for these scripts to be used not only in educational, cultural, and religious contexts, but also as part of everyday digital identity and online participation.

I also recognize the importance of the newly published UCAS Reference LGR and the updates supporting other language communities. Together, these efforts contribute to preserving linguistic diversity while ensuring that the Internet remains relevant and accessible to people around the world.

At the same time, continued attention should be given to maintaining the security, stability, predictability, and trustworthiness of the DNS. Careful management of variant labels, cross-script variants, and potential user-confusion risks remains essential as IDN implementation expands. Balancing technical integrity with linguistic diversity is critical to the long-term success of these initiatives.

I appreciate the collaborative work of ICANN org, Generation Panels, Integration Panel members, language experts, script communities, and other stakeholders who contribute their expertise to this process. The community-driven approach demonstrated throughout the development of these Reference LGRs reflects a strong commitment to technical accuracy, cultural sensitivity, transparency, and inclusiveness.

I also encourage ICANN org to continue providing clear and accessible explanatory materials alongside technical documentation so that language communities, civil society organizations, and other non-technical stakeholders can better understand the purpose and impact of these Reference LGRs.

Overall, I support the publication and advancement of these new and updated Reference LGRs and encourage continued community consultation, transparent documentation, Universal Acceptance efforts, and technically sound implementation practices. These initiatives play a vital role in advancing a secure, stable, multilingual, and globally inclusive Internet where every language and script has the opportunity to thrive online.
