There is no dragon blood involved any more (endangered species!) ...

To get an ISO 639 alpha-2 or alpha-3 identifier, there are some
requirements. You will find it all described at
http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/iso639jac.html. There is also an
online form.

We are already unanimous on that point!

Intersting!  What's the procedure for registering either way?

The last time I looked for info on ISO registration, it was required a
midnight seance with six-fingered Swissmen, during a lunar eclipse, on
Easter Island, and a check for 2i+3 piastres (drawn on a Maltese account),
endorsed, in dragon blood, by two unrelated Lovecraftian gods.

But that was a long time ago, and I hope that ISO has become more
accessible since then.
