Proposal for Malayalam Script Root Zone‬ Label Generation Rules – Second Public Comment Proceeding

7 May 2020

Open Date: 7 May 2020 Close Date: 17 June 2020
Originating Organization: Global Domains Division
Categories/Tags: Top-Level Domains
Brief Overview:

The Neo-Brahmi Generation Panel (NBGP) was formed by nine communities that use scripts derived from the Brahmi script. NBGP has developed Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) proposals for Bangla, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil and Telugu scripts. The Malayalam LGR proposal (LGR and supporting documentation) is being updated to address an inconsistency involving the conjunct "nta" and adjust the cross-script variants with Myanmar and Georgian scripts. As per the LGR Procedure, the updated proposal is being posted for public comments to allow those who have not participated in the NBGP to make their views known. Based on feedback received, the NBGP will finalize the proposal for its evaluation and integration into the Label Generation Rules for the Root Zone.
