I can think of another reason: ISO
Central Secretariat completed publication faster than we expected: we thought
they’d take a few weeks but they posted it the very next day. We still
have some details in the code table wrt what to do
with certain 639-2 entries that we’re sorting out. Now we have an
unfortunate quandary: because of the ISO announcement, the downloadable data
files can be considered published even though there may be a few things in
there that are not ideal meaning we’d be stuck with them. I wish we could
clear those up before they got incorporated into a 4645bis draft.

I can. Not all of my requests for changes have been considered (they may of
course be rejected, but that needs to be explicit). I will put together a list
and send to this group.

This removes our last external obstacle to moving RFC 4646bis and
4645bis forward. Our goals were to submit these documents for IETF
Last
Call by the end of January, provided that ISO 639-3 had been published
(the charter actually says "fully approved," which is surely implied
by
publication). As Mark might put it, it is now the 39th of January
and
we need to get moving if we are going to make the deadline.
I have received no detailed comments on changes to be made in RFC
4645bis, and will be completely ready to go in a day or so with a
draft-02, intended for WG LC, that uses the (apparently final) 639-3
download tables. However, I don't think I'm supposed to do this
unless
4646bis is ready for WG LC as well (partly because of the lingering
hex-NCRs question). Maybe there is some other reason we should be
waiting and not taking action to move these documents forward, but I
can't think of any.
