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

10 December 2015

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

Following the Call for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation 
Rules <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> , on 2 December 
2015 the Cyrillic script community submitted to ICANN the Proposal for the 
Generation Panel for the Cyrillic Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root 
Zone 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cyrillic-script-lgr-proposal-10dec15-en.pdf> 
[PDF, 563 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 Cyrillic script community for 
volunteering to develop the Cyrillic script LGR proposal for the Root Zone," 
said Sarmad Hussain from the IDN Program at ICANN.

With composition and work plan approved, the Cyrillic script 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/Cyrillic+Script+GP> 
on the project website where the Cyrillic script 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
