Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  This memo defines the procedure used to update the IANA Language
  Subtag Registry in conjunction with the publication of
  draft-ietf-ltru-4646bis,
  for use in forming tags for identifying languages. As an Internet-Draft,



  it also contained a complete replacement of the contents of the
Registry
  to be used by IANA in updating it. This update adds several thousand
  language codes to the registry, which will allow these languages to
  be identified appropriately on the Internet. To prevent confusion, the
  actual registry contents will be removed before publication as an RFC.
