<div dir="auto">Dear Pitinan, <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">I appreciate the email sent by the Brigadier General Mahfuzul Karim Mazumder.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Meanwhile, as a part of our comment, I'd like to point out that in the root-zone as of now, there are two TLD delegated in Bangla and they do not strictly conform with our LGR (which is ok as it happened before the LGR and they are ccTLDs). They are ভারত and ভাৰত, whereas the র and ৰ are variant blocked. Therefore if a label follow LGR rules, there should not be two labels such as ভারত and ভাৰত activated at the same time. So a question may arise as to how to handle the existing case. I suggest that we may "grandfather" them technically. Let this issue be placed in the Comments section -- and we at the NBGP will respond to this by submitting a comment to the public comment platform. Ideally, the two labels ভারত and ভাৰত need not be activated at the same time because ভারত is a valid Bangla label and ভাৰত is an Assamese label.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">But as these two are already delegated in the root-zone <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/string-evaluation-completion-2014-02-19-en">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/string-evaluation-completion-2014-02-19-en</a> via the ccTLD Fast Track process</div><div dir="auto">(ভারত was delegated in 2010 and ভাৰত was delegated in 2016 to facilitate the Assamese users employing the same script), we will have to take a stand that it can be described as grandfathered which would mean that no solution in our LGR needs to be changed. As NBGP we are aware that these two labels will continue as-is. However for any new label registration e.g. TLD for next round or new ccTLD application, it should follow the LGR.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Regards, </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Udaya Narayana Singh </div><div dir="auto">Co-Chair, NBGP</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 11, 2020, 16:39 Pitinan Kooarmornpatana <<a href="mailto:pitinan.koo@icann.org">pitinan.koo@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_-358434629859075632WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Dear Neo-Brahmi GP members, <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Kindly allow me to share the kind words from Brigadier General Md Mahfuzul Karim Majumder as the email below.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Warmest Regards,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Pitinan<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">From: </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Brigadielr Genernl Md Mustafa Kiamal <<a href="mailto:dgeo@btrc.gov.bd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">dgeo@btrc.gov.bd</a>><br><b>Date: </b>Wednesday, March 11, 2020 at 14:40<br><b>To: </b>Pitinan Kooarmornpatana <<a href="mailto:pitinan.koo@icann.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">pitinan.koo@icann.org</a>><br><b>Cc: </b>"<a href="mailto:mahaqueanu@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">mahaqueanu@gmail.com</a>" <<a href="mailto:mahaqueanu@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">mahaqueanu@gmail.com</a>>, Sarmad Hussain <<a href="mailto:sarmad.hussain@icann.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">sarmad.hussain@icann.org</a>>, Samiran Gupta <<a href="mailto:samiran.gupta@icann.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">samiran.gupta@icann.org</a>><br><b>Subject: </b>[Ext] Re: Publishing Bangla LGR for Public Comment<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div id="m_-358434629859075632divtagdefaultwrapper"><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black">Dear Pitinan,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black">Hope this mail finds you hale and hearty.
