ICANN : Request for Proposal for Reference LGRs for the Second Level

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) is seeking provider(s) to develop Label Generation Rules (LGRs) for multiple languages (and scripts) for use at the second level, based on a new machine readable formal representation .

In the new gTLD program, during Pre-Delegation Testing (PDT) ICANN has noted a large number of IDN table submissions. The IDN tables submitted by the new gTLD registries varied in the repertoire of characters included and the contextual rules. In order to improve consistency of testing and stability of registry operations of new gTLDs, ICANN has approved the development of reference LGRs for the second level for use in Pre-Delegation Testing (PDT) and the Registry Service Evaluation Process (RSEP). These tables will be developed based on authoritative sources, validated by experts and then finalized based on community feedback. Once finalized, these will be published openly by ICANN.

ICANN intends to use these reference LGRs for the second level for internal operations and will make them available for the community.
