Dear Akshat Joshi,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. ZWJ & ZWNJ have different specific purposes in different scripts/languages. Their use in Hindi is different from the use in Kannada. Hope these are considered. Is there any document on these?

 

Regards,

Pavanaja

Hello Dr. Pavanaja,

As per my knowledge, the ZWNJ and ZWJ are allowed to be part of the domain names under specific contexts only and not in free-form way. 

However, specifically talking about this Root Zone LGR Project, they have not been permitted to be part of the TLD strings.

Regards,

Akshat

Dear All,

Further to today's fruitful meeting, I am delighted to inform you all that we are almost ready with the first-cut of the Devanagari LGR document which has been cursorily checked by the Integration Panel members.  

Once we are through with the Devanagari LGR, we can treat that as a guiding document and start working on other scripts on similar lines. 

Also, it is not assumed that Devanagari case will be able to address all the nuances that are there among all other brahmi based scripts. We will definitely need to take up each script on individual basis. However, with Devanagari LGR document almost ready, we have clear picture of the template to be followed.

I will share the same with you all by next week. 

Regards,

Akshat Joshi

Dear Members,

 

I am pleased to share with you that since the ICANN57 meeting held in Hyderabad in November 2016, there has been increased interest in Internationalized Domain Names and proliferation of Indic content in India. The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) hosted a session on Proliferation of Indic Computing at ICANN57 which was well-attended by members of government, industry, academia and civil society. Over the past few months, we have seen growing interest by those in Indic computing, to participate in the Neo Brahmi Generation Panel (NBGP). Apart from that, the Government of India is very keen for the early development of Indic computing resources, to facilitate greater penetration of Indic computing. 

 

Therefore, with that in mind, ICANN is organizing a half-day session, particularly for members of IAMAI on 8th March 2017, in New Delhi. The full agenda for this meeting follows below. NBGP members are invited to a meeting with IAMAI to discuss how industry can actively and effectively contribute to NBGP in taking the Generation Panel’s work forward to develop the Neo-Brahmi Label Generation Rules to support local language IDNs at the top-level. You may like to join this meeting in person, if deputed by your institution or project/programme, or alternatively, by remote telephonic participation. 

 

I request those who wish to join - either in person or by phone - to please send a line of confirmation by 6th March to Mr Samiran Gupta, Head, ICANN-India at  : +91 99902 18198, E-mail: samiran.gupta at icann.org   Skype: samiran.gupta.icann. 

 

For those joining by phone, dial-in details will be provided subsequently. Please note the agenda:
