Improved GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charter Amendment Process The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) charter revision process has been updated to reflect the continuous evolution of the ICANN community, ongoing implementation of Specific Review recommendations, and the review role of ICANN Board. These improvements will streamline charter revisions and allow GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to continue their focus on policy development. 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. This aims to improve the transparency and consistency of the Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) table review process and to facilitate the registry operations of gTLDs. ICANN org seeks for feedback from the broader community on these LGRs. Technical Check Review 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. IANA expects to conduct a general community consultation on the scope and definition of these tests to inform future evolution of its operational practices. The current tests were defined based on a prior community engagement exercise. |
