Additional Script-Based Reference Label Generation Rules and Related Updates Submission - Shikmoni, Doron
03 March 2023

Submission Summary:

(personal capacity, not wearing my chair of Hebrew RZ-LGR WG hat or any other hat)

Essentially, I believe the Reference LGR for Hebrew script meets its goals and is ready for implementation.

I would further comment that adding the two ASCII charset blocking variants, under the assumption that they are potential homoglyphs to Hebrew script characters ("i" to "VAV", "o" to "SAMECH") does not solve a real problem. That being said, sin...

03 March 2023

Submission Summary:

Despite the provisions in the proposal for Bangla, there is a long-standing concern regarding the incorporation of atomic versions of three decomposed characters in the LGR document, namely য় YYA (U+09DF), ড় RRA (U+09DC), and ঢ় RRHA (U+09DD).

Additional Script-Based Reference Label Generation Rules and Related Updates Submission - Hotta, Hiro
02 March 2023

Submission Summary:

We agree with the proposal about new second-level reference LGRs.

Particularly, for the Japanese Language LGR, it is appreciated that standalone LGR with no interference by LGRs for Chinese or Korean language, presuming the case of only Japanese language as the label.

In addition to the above, we propose a small amendment to make the LGR more secure.

We also thank the ICANN IDN team for their continuous effort.


Additional Script-Based Reference Label Generation Rules and Related Updates Submission - Jouris, Bill
01 March 2023

Submission Summary:

It is my view that it is inappropriate to use the set of variants used for the Root Zone in the RZ-LRGs for the Second Level. 

The Root Zone LGRs were developed under the explicit mandate to ignore any possible implications for the Second Level.  This matters because proposed gTLD registrations are subject to manual review, to avoid confusion.  Whereas Second Level Domain Name registrations are not, and cannot be, manually...
