With the availability of this detailed script-level analysis, it is now also possible to develop script-based Reference LGRs for the use at the second level. Second-level rules are used for generating a “label” in a domain name under a top-level domain (TLD), e.g. “www.label.TLD”.</span></span></div>

This also helps inform registries how ICANN org tests the IDN tables for security and stability, bringing more transparency into this process. For this purpose, ICANN org is developing additional Reference LGRs for the second level using the</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #0098d5;" lang="EN"> </span></span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-guidelines-second-level-27may20-en.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0098d5;">guidelines</span></a>, utilizing the analysis done by the NBGP and possibly adding digits and hyphen, as latter are not allowed for RZ-LGR. In addition to script-based LGRs for the second level, we are also developing some high volume language-based LGRs i.e. Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Hebrew, Thai. We will continue developing more reference LGRs to match the needs. </span></span></p>

For each script/language, Pitinan have already shared both the formal XML and its corresponding more readable HTML version, along with the short questionnaire to respective NBGP members to provide comments and feedback. The same will also be sent in next email by Pitinan for the entire community in NBGP.</span></p>
