I would like to sincerely appreciate the efforts of the IDN community, Generation Panels, Integration Panel members, language experts, and ICANN org for the continued development and enhancement of the Reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs).

The publication of new Reference LGRs for the Javanese and Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (UCAS) scripts, along with updates to Arabic, Inuktitut, Japanese, and Latin scripts, reflects a strong commitment toward building a more multilingual, inclusive, and globally accessible Internet.

These efforts are extremely important for preserving linguistic diversity and enabling communities worldwide to access and use the Internet fully in their native languages and scripts. The additions supporting Pegon writing systems in Indonesia, Algonquian languages in Canada, and enhanced cross-script variant handling demonstrate meaningful progress toward digital inclusion and Universal Acceptance readiness.

I particularly appreciate the collaborative and community-driven nature of this work, where technical accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and stability of the DNS are all carefully balanced.

IDNs and Universal Acceptance remain critical for achieving a truly multilingual Internet where every language and script can participate equally in the digital ecosystem. I congratulate everyone involved for their dedication and valuable contribution to the global Internet community.
