The '''Integration Panel''' is ICANN’s expert body charged with turning the many script-specific proposals submitted by community Generation Panels (GPs) into a single, safe, and internally-consistent [[Root Zone Label Generation Rules|Root Zone Label Generation Ruleset (RZ-LGR)]]. It was constituted on September 6, 2013.<ref name="selec">[https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/selection-of-integration-panel-for-the-idn-root-zone-label-generation-rules-lgr-6-9-2013-en ICANN: Selection of Integration Panel for the IDN Root Zone Label Generation Rules (LGR)]</ref>

The team is responsible for creating and maintaining the Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR), which is a conservative master list of Unicode code points that are eligible for use at the top level. Each successive version is a strict superset of the previous one, ensuring backward compatibility. As of September 2025, there are 6 Versions.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/msr-6-overview-28may25-en.pdf ICANN: Integration Panel - Maximal Starting Repertoire (MSR-6) Overview and Rationale]</ref>

After a Generation Panel selects a subset of its script's code points from the current MSR, adds variant mappings and writes script-specific Whole-Label Evaluation (WLE) rules. The IP checks every proposal for syntax, symmetry, MSR conformance and cross-script consistency. When the IP has created such a set, it is posted for Public Comment using the prevailing ICANN procedures. Based on the comment received, the IP merges all scripts that have passed review into the next RZ-LGR release.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/ar/public-comment/proceeding/root-zone-label-generation-rules-version-6-rz-lgr-6-17-06-2025 ICANN Public Comment: Root Zone Label Generation Rules Version 6 (RZ-LGR-6)]</ref>
