New Alsatian form not needed, see original form

[Karen_Broome at spe.sony.com]

I remind everyone that there already is a pending form requesting the 
Alsatian change. When I submitted it, I was asked to make the registration 
with ISO in advance of a decision. There is no need for a new form for the 
Alsatian request. I see nothing invalid about the request below, though it 
could possibly be added that this will now synchronize the registry with 
the change ISO has now made. Two weeks is up. I think we all agree.

Make it so.

Regards,

Karen Broome
