<html><head></head><body>ICANN Board asked the ICANN community to recommend how to technically apply the RZ-LGR in a harmonized way for existing and future IDN ccTLDs and gTLDs.<br>
<br>
This Study Group was formed and chaired by Dennis Tan and the document will be out soon for public comment. <br>
<br>
This will answer many of the doubts and queries.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
