established in the RFC that created this process in the first place. I have
long contended that at the end of two weeks some action must always be taken:
approve the request, deny the request or extend discussion for a new two-week
period. IMO, extending to a new two-week period should only happen when clear
and obtainable progress toward a decision can be achieved. I do not think
extensions just so we can carry on discussions is a good idea. If there is
specific information that is needed before a decision can be made, then at the
end of two weeks the request should, IMO, be denied with an explanation of what
is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

this will not be another registration that we prolong beyond the two-week

Are you saying we should wait the two weeks then?<br>
I think we have held up proposals before too, and longer than two weeks; but
ideally we should discuss this for at most the two-week review period unless
there is new information or some other valid reason to extend that then either
the subtag or not.<br>
So I would not vote for waiting to hear from others for more than two weeks.<br>

<br>
So it's not got an official grammar but it's in use which I think is the
criteria,<br>
so as soon as we have adequately discussed this, then I think we should
register the tarask subtag for the variant of the script<br>
<br>
& should wait no more than 2 weeks.<br>
