Hi John

ISO 639-6 passed at DIS and goes to FDIS as soon as I can find the time to
update with the comments from the DIS vote and submit it to ISO TC37
Secretariat.  Publication is due in 2008.  I think FDIS vote is a 2 month
period and in general only editorial comments are made.

Happy New Year all!

Debbie Garside
Editor ISO FDIS 639-6
