[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

please find below the call for experts to join the study group for the
application of Root Zone Label Generation Rules.

you can find the details about the required skills and technical expertise
related to IDN (Internationalized Domain Name). Those who have the
technical background and experience with IDNs, please read about the
requirements and expectations in the shared material.  Experts are
encouraged to apply by filling the attached form and send it to this

Dear Councilors,



As you may have seen, a call for experts to study the application of Root
Zone Label Generation Rules (RZ-LGR) was recently published here:
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-02-08-en



The Study Group is seeking technical subject matter experts on IDNs and the
RZ-LGR from the SO/ACs, including the GNSO. As indicated in the
announcement, participation in the Study Group requires that volunteers
have expertise in one or more of the areas below relevant for IDN TLD
labels:



   - *IDNA2008, RFC 6912 and RFC 7940*
   - *Procedure to Develop and Maintain Root Zone Label Generation Rules*
   - *Script-based RZ-LGR proposal development*
   - *Technical evaluation for IDN new gTLDs and IDN ccTLDs*
   - *Unicode security considerations*
   - *IDN TLD usability challenges*



It would be appreciated if you all can encourage the respective SG/Cs you
represent to have qualified candidates complete the attached form, which
collects SG/C affiliation and allows for an explanation of required
technical expertise; that form should then be submitted directly to the
email address (IDNProgram at icann.org) provided in the announcement.



The tentative work plan in the announcement estimates that publication of
the Study Group's final report will occur in October. The Study Group is
expected to work primarily online and as such, no travel support is
provided.



Your assistance is greatly appreciated by the IDN Program. If you have any
questions, please let me know.



Best,

Steve
