>Description of Working Group:
>
>The primary language subtags allowed by the current IANA Language
>Subtag Registry are limited to ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2 in the same
>way as they were limited by RFC 3066. This covers approximately 500
>possible language subtags. ISO 639-3, scheduled for approval towards
>the end of 2006, will make available around 7000 more code elements
>for identifying languages.
>
>The working group will prepare an update to the Language Subtag
>Registry procedures to allow the use of 3-letter code elements
>from ISO 639-3 as primary language subtags or extended language
>subtags as appropriate. The working group will also deliver means
>to update the current IANA Language Subtag Registry with the newly
>available subtags.
>
>The working group will examine, and if necessary clarify or adjust,
>procedures and guidelines with respect to extended language subtags
>and variant subtags. Use cases include the identification of
>signed languages, transliterations, and transcriptions.
>The working group will also consider how the draft work on
>ISO 639-6 may relate to the future development of language tags.
>
>The working group will clarify text where necessary. It may also
>make adjustments to the registration process and the form of the
>registry if this is deemed appropriate based on ongoing registration
>and operational experience. These adjustments and clarifications
>are not expected to delay the progress of the work.
>
>Work on the drafts is planned to start before ISO 639-3 is fully
>approved and published. However, the WG will not finalize the
>drafts before ISO 639-3 is fully approved.
>
>
>Goals and Milestones:
>
>September 2006 Submit first WG draft of registry procedure update
>September 2006 Submit first WG draft of registry data update
>January 2007 Submit registry procedure update draft for IETF Last Call
>January 2007 Submit registry data update draft for IETF Last Call
