Re: [Ietf-languages] Latgalian variant request (was: RE: LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM)

[Doug Ewell <[e-mail]>]

Here are the latest proposed record and registration form for variant subtag 'ltg2007', as well as an updated registration form for the subtag 'vecdruka' (added in September 2020) as requested by Mr. Soshinskiy.

The review period for the new subtag runs through Tuesday, June 21 AoE. So far, there have not been any comments on the subtag itself.

The updated form for 'vecdruka' is editorial only, and does not affect the Registry. Readers can compare the form below with the original form from 2020 [1] to confirm this. We have no precedent for this type of change, and RFC 5646 does not describe any review period for it, so the Reviewer will need to decide what review period (if any) he feels is appropriate.

May I ask you to change my name and email in my first request of 2020 to the name/surname and email that I sent in this request, please :)

Also, looks like this mail-list is public, so it probably wasn't very wise to put my email as is, was it? :)
