Japanese Community Forms Generation Panel for Developing the Japanese Root 
Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR)

17 March 2015

ICANN is pleased to announce that the Generation Panel for the Japanese Label 
Generation Rules (LGR) for the Root Zone has been seated.

Following the  <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> Call 
for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules, on 6 
February 2015 the Japanese community submitted to ICANN the 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/japanese-lgr-proposal-17mar15-en.pdf> 
Proposal for Generation Panel for Japanese Label Generation Rules for the Root 
Zone [PDF, 223 KB]. ICANN staff has reviewed the proposal including panel 
composition and scope, to ensure that requirements set forth in the 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> LGR 
Procedure [PDF, 772 KB], and in particular the criteria set forth in the 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> Call for Generation 
Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules, are fulfilled.

On behalf of ICANN, we would like to use this opportunity to thank each of the 
members for offering their time and expertise to volunteer for the Japanese 
Generation Panel.

With composition and work plan approved, the Japanese Generation Panel will 
start its work on the label generation rules. According to the 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> LGR 
Procedure [PDF, 772 KB], the starting point of any Generation Panel's work is 
the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), with its first version ( 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-06-20-en> MSR-1) released on 
20 June 2014 and the second version ( 
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/msr-2014-12-15-en> MSR-2) currently 
released for community review. The full specification of Generation Panel's 
tasks can be found in the 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf> LGR 
Procedure [PDF, 772 KB] in particular, Section B.3 "Variant Rule Generation 
Procedure".

ICANN has provided a central public 
<https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Japanese+GP> 
workspace on the project website where Japanese 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  <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> Call 
for Generation Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules. 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 with the Arabic, Armenian, Chinese and Japanese, Generation Panel 
formation is expected to cover other scripts including Bengali, Cyrillic, 
Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Khmer, 
Korean, Lao, Latin, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, Thai and Tibetan.

For further information on how to form a Generation Panel, please refer to the 
<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2013-07-11-en> Call for Generation 
Panels to Develop Root Zone Label Generation Rules and to the additional 
supporting documentation provided on the 
<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
