Second-Level Reference Label Generation Rule: Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, Latin, Japanese, Korean, Myanmar

ICANN has developed seven additional script-based reference Label Generation Rulesets (LGRs) for the second level in consultation with the relevant script communities.

ICANN org seeks for feedback from the broader community on these LGRs.

For IANA-managed zones, most notably for the root zone, a suite of technical conformance tests are conducted as part of the process of evaluating change requests.

The current tests were defined based on a prior community engagement exercise.
