Outcome
ICANN org appreciates the comments submitted by the community on the additional and updated reference Label Generation Rules (LGRs). ICANN org received 37 comments. Of these, 31 comments supported the Balinese script reference LGR, five comments supported the Inuktitut language reference LGR, and one comment supported the updated Myanmar script (Full Variant Set) reference LGR.
Based on the input received, reference LGRs will be finalized and published for the use of generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry operators as reference while they design their Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) tables. These LGRs will also be used in reviewing the IDN tables submitted by gTLD registries.
What We Received Input On
ICANN org has worked with relevant communities and already published Reference LGRs for the second level for multiple scripts and languages. Additional Reference LGRs have been developed based on the detailed analysis in consultation with the relevant language and script communities.
Three new Reference LGRs for Balinese script, Thaana script, and Inuktitut language, as well as two updated Reference LGRs for Myanmar script (Full Variant Set) and Spanish language are being released for Public Comment. ICANN org seeks feedback from the broader community on these new and updated Reference LGRs.

Background
To improve the transparency and consistency of the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) table review process and facilitate the registry operations of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs), ICANN has developed reference IDN tables in machine-readable format, called Reference Label Generation Rulesets for the Second Level. These are used in conducting the security and stability review of IDN tables submitted by the gTLD registries, e.g., through the IDN services.
The Reference LGRs are developed in the context of either a language or a script. Experts from the relevant language or script community are consulted while developing these Reference LGRs.
