Ietf-languages Digest, Vol 144, Issue 4

Re: Jogi and Atong

Dear Doug and IETF list members,

The RA for ISO639-3 has resolved one or two languages after the yearly
cycle, when there were just questions of documentation of evidence. In this
case I had not heard from the requester of Jogi at our usual final update
time and posted Yan-nhangu Sign Language. The requester for Jogi did reply
and I posted the final resolution of this request.

When I realized that Atong caused a data problem for our local users, I
posted the correction. I make this kind of correction when it occurs,
outside the usual cycle.

We will continue to operate on a yearly cycle for the foreseeable future.
