Root Zone Update Process Study CPWG

The March 2016 proposal to transition the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions from the U.S. Department of Commerce to the global multistakeholder community called for a study to investigate the robustness of the operational arrangements for making changes to the root zone content to reduce or eliminate single points of failure. ICANN org commissioned this study, which is now ready for public review.

This Public Comment proceeding seeks input on the UDRP Policy Status Report. ICANN org will update the report to include relevant information from Public Comments.

Root Zone Label Generation Rules Version 5 (RZ-LGR-5) CPWG

To determine valid top-level Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) labels and their variant labels, the script communities have finalized their Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the root zone as per the LGR Procedure. These proposals are integrated into the Root Zone LGR (RZ-LGR) by the Integration Panel into its fifth version. RZ-LGR-5 is aiming to cover 26 scripts concluding work of active Generation Panels. ICANN is seeking input on it from the community.
