In addition, the Armenian and Cyrillic script GPs have also finalized their proposals, which were deferred from integration into RZ-LGR by the Integration Panel (IP) because they were related to Greek and Latin scripts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The IP has successfully evaluated the&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lgr-proposals-2015-12-01-en&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;RZ-LGR proposals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;for these scripts and integrated the proposals, along with other scripts in the current RZ-LGR version, to develop the fifth version (RZ-LGR-5).

In doing so, the GPs may need to coordinate efforts with other GPs whenever their repertoires either overlap or are closely related. Script proposals are finalized after Public Comment proceedings and then are submitted to the Integration Panel (IP) for evaluation. The successfully evaluated proposals are integrated into the next version of RZ-LGR. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-lgr-procedure-20mar13-en.pdf&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;LGR Procedure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;it states that the IP creates a set of recommended rules that integrates all the approved proposals from the GPs. When the IP has created such a set, it is posted for Public Comment using the prevailing ICANN procedures. At the end of the Public Comment period, the IP receives and reviews the Public Comment to finalize the LGR. The resulting rules become the RZ-LGR. RZ-LGR-5 covers the following scripts: Arabic, Armenian, Bangla, Chinese (Han), Cyrillic, Devanagari, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji [Han]), Kannada, Khmer, Korean (Hangul and Hanja [Han]), Lao, Latin, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Thai.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Next Steps&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;wysiwyg-output ng-star-inserted&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As per the LGR Procedure, RZ-LGR-5 is being released for Public Comment to gather community feedback for its finalization.
