The Korean Community Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Root Zone Label 
Generation Rules (LGR)

1 February 2016

ICANN is pleased to announce the formation of the Generation Panel to develop 
Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR) for Korean.

Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation 
Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> , on 21 January 
2016 the Korean community submitted to ICANN the Proposal for Korean 
Generation Panel 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/korean-gp-proposal-21jan16-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 234 KB]. ICANN staff has reviewed the proposal including panel 
composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the LGR 
Procedure 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 772 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the Call for 
Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> , are fulfilled.

"On behalf of ICANN we are grateful to the Korean community for volunteering 
to develop the Korean LGR proposal for the Root Zone. We are also grateful to 
Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA) for supporting the effort," said 
Sarmad Hussain from the IDN Program at ICANN.

With composition and work plan approved, the Korean Generation Panel will 
start its work on the label generation rules. According to the LGR Procedure 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is the 
Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its second version (MSR-2 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en> ) released on 27 
April 2015. The full specification of Generation Panel's tasks can be found in 
the LGR Procedure 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 772 KB] in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation Procedure".

ICANN has provided a central public workspace 
<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Korean+GP>  on the 
project website where the Korean Generation Panel composition, work plan 
updates, public reports, contact details, and any other relevant information 
will be included.

As a reminder, and to highlight the importance of script community involvement 
required in the development of the IDN Root Zone LGR, we would like to 
reiterate the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation 
Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> . A successful 
development of the Root Zone LGR depends on having Generation Panels for each 
script represented in the Root Zone. In addition to ongoing efforts by the 
communities for Chinese, Cyrillic, Ethiopic, Greek, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, 
Lao, Latin, Neo-Brahmi and Thai, Generation Panel formation is expected to 
cover other scripts including Georgian, Hebrew, Myanmar, Sinhala and Tibetan.

For further information on how to form a Generation Panel, please refer to the 
Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en>  and to the additional 
supporting documentation provided on the Root Zone LGR Project website 
<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Root+Zone+LGR+Project>

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To 
reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your 
computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know 
where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across 
the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. 
ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation 
with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet 
secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy 
on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the 
Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. 
But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does 
have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet. For
