Re: [Ietf-languages] Proposed records and registration forms for Sark and Sercquiais

[Doug Ewell <[e-mail]>]

The new forms will be called "record-nrf-2023-xx-xx.txt" and "regform-nrf-2023-xx-xx.txt", where the xx-xx will be replaced by the actual date of submission to IANA. These forms will supplement, not replace, the forms originally submitted for 'nrf'. If you check the IANA templates folder, you will find many examples of this.

Hello Doug,

As always, many thanks for all your work.

Just some questions: Am I right that the template below for nrf will
replace the one at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-subtags-templates/nrf.txt? If yes,
wouldn't it be better to write it so that
all the three islands/languages are covered, in particular for
"4. Intended meaning of the subtag"?

In case I got something wrong (which is easily possible), please tell me.

Regards,    Martin.
