<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
1. I take it that this objection does not count (is not intended as) a<br>
"significant objection raised on the list" that would prevent the two<br>
prefix change requests from being approved?<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
No, it is not meant to object formally to either of your requests. You may remember I agreed with you that all of the Portuguese variants should have had simply "Prefix: pt". Tags aren't supposed to be required to include the region simply because the content
"is" Brazilian Portuguese (for example), only when it is considered important to specify that it is.<br>
<br>
I don't know anywhere enough about Galician to comment on that request.<br>
<br>
It *is* meant to grumble informally about two things:<br>
<br>
a. Calling these change requests "corrections" as if the registrations just completed were in error.<br>
<br>
b. Staying quiet during the last week or so of the review period just completed, and then immediately proposing these changes, with no notice that this was the strategy. We thought we were done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in">
<p class="MsoNormal">In any case, a) the wording "correction(s)" does not appear in the<br>
proposed forms themselves (one says "modification", the other says<br>
"change request"),<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
Of course it doesn't. I know the forms pretty well by now. You had written "Below is a registration form to request [yet] another correction to the current registration of 'ao1990'" in each of your two messages.<br>
<br>
Maybe this use of "correction" is a matter of non-native English, in which case I apologize.<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in">
<p class="MsoNormal">and b) BCP47 explicitly allows prefix changes after registration.<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
Of course it does, as long as they are widening changes, which yours are. Section 3.1.8.<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in">
<p class="MsoNormal">2. To Andrew's statement "I'd prefer to [...] allow the registration<br>
to proceed as is before opening up the debate over the prefix once<br>
more", Michael replied "I concur".<br>
<br>
Given that it can hardly have escaped his (Michael's) attention that<br>
the registration has completed, I take that to mean he has no<br>
objection against the debate being reopened now.<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Yeah, I don't know what Michael meant. Perhaps he thinks this is the right approach *now that* the initial registration has completed.<br>
<br>
Anyway, let the Portuguese debate resume. The review periods for these two requests (individually) should go through Friday, May 29, unless there are changes that extend them.<br>
