ICANN Board asked the ICANN community to recommend how to technically apply the RZ-LGR in a harmonized way for existing and future IDN ccTLDs and gTLDs.

This Study Group was formed and chaired by Dennis Tan and the document will be out soon for public comment.

This will answer many of the doubts and queries.

Thanks

Anytime you change the registration policies for an existing registry,

labels (if any).

The LGRs for several existing TLDS have changed, and .com and .net
have some IDNs that predate any LGRs.  The rule seems to be that you
can renew whatever you have forever, but if it expires and it's not
valid under the new rule, nobody can reregister it.

I'm not sure how much of a problem this is in practice.  When I went
through and looked at all of the IDNs in gTLDs including all the old
ones, the number that were grandfathered was quite small, well under
1% of the total.  By percentages it seemed to be more of a problem
that some new TLDs aren't following their own existing rules.

R's,
John
