[Comments-lgr-proposal-chinese-script-28feb20] Comments on the proposal for Chinese Root Zone LGR

[HiroHOTTA]

I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Chinese Root Zone LGR 
proposal. 

First of all, on behalf of Japanese Generation Panel (JGP), let me 
congratulate the completion of Chinese Root Zone LGR proposal.

JGP has long been in cooperation with Chinese GP (CGP) and Korean 
GP (KGP) in developing Root Zone LGR proposals that cover Kanji 
(also called Han or Hanna) script. Those three language communities 
(often called CJK, collectively) use thousands of Kanji characters 
in common.

From its initial phase, JGP has been consistent in its intention to 
accept the variants defined in Chinese Root Zone LGR (as well as in 
Korean one) in order to nurture safe TLD space. To assure that this 
intention would be adequately achieved, JGP needed to carefully 
observe the process and result of CGP. 

The above means that completion of comprehensive Chinese Root Zone 
LGR is one of the requirements for the completion of Japanese Root 
Zone LGR. JGP has discussed and shared the process and outcomes 
with CGP periodically and I am confident that their process was 
well-devised and their proposal is in accordance with the result of 
CJK GPs' coordination.

Chair. Japanese Generation Panel
