Dont you really think this discussion preparing the registration of these 
IANA language tags should not involve,
- Aida Radielovic and Senan Dervisevic from the University Teleinformatic 
Centre (UTIC) in Sarajevo for the members of the Internet community of Bosnia,
- Bernard Turcotte and the Technical Manager of the CIRA in Ottawa for the 
members of the Internet community of Canada,
- Timur Hasanov and Khalil Rakhmanov of the Information Technology Center 
of Dushanbe for the members of the Internet community of Tajikistan ?

I do think they should be informed of the existence of this 
http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages non IETF and non 
ICANN list, which reviews the languages tags submitted to the IESG 
designated reviewer, for registration by the IANA. I think they should be 
able to document the way they plan to support the corresponding IDN Tables.
