ARI Registry Services Comments - IDN TLD‬ Program - Label Generation Ruleset (LGR) Tool Project (P1) - LGR Tool Set Specifications

[Yasmin Omer <Yasmin.Omer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ARI Registry Services thanks ICANN for the opportunity to comment on the LGR 
Tool Project.

With respect to point 2 of section 5 – Non-functional requirements which states 
that:

“The  system  should  be  developed  using  the  Python programming  language,  
which  can  be  licensed with  open  source  license. The  system  must  not  
contain  any  third  party  code  which  prevents  it  from  release  with  
licensing  requirements stipulated”

ARI Registry Services believes that whilst the use of Python may be beneficial, 
dictating its use and restricting the system to Python is not in the interests 
of the community. Instead ARI Registry Services recommends restricting the 
system to an open sourced interpreted language. In addition, the system’s code 
should be provided under an Open Source license to enable all community members 
to make use of and contribute to the tool.

Regards,
