The request [1] is for a North Germanic language [2] spoken in Sweden. There is no Ethnologue page about it, but there is SIL page [3], which indicates it's about a relatively new addition.
It's spoken by ~2000 people, but Sweden is one of the richest countries in the world and I am sure this language has a chance to become a valid encyclopedic language.

Hoi, No ISO code? so rejection. Thanks, GerardM

Mmm... no _Ethnologue_ entry, but ovd is the code, isn't it?
There's another curiosity here, however: The request page suggests an autonym in runes, and the Wikipedia page about the language indeed says that runes were used for writing this language until very late, but nowadays the Latin alphabet is used.

We should see what's the most realistic writing system to them. It's possible that runic script is indeed quite fine; or they could have a transliteration engine.
It seems they have completely switched to the Latin alphabet now (the language is being actively standardised) so I don't think using a Runic alphabet for the modern version of the language makes sense. For an eventual Wikisource, though, the Runic alphabet has valid use.
The code issue here is an interesting one. In the first request, 10 years ago, they used the code "dlc", which was included in the draft of ISO 639-3, but not in the final version. I don't have any sources for this (it's a long time ago), but what I heard then was that Elfdalian and Scanian (skånska, code scy) were supposed to be in ISO 639-3, but were not included because the Swedish authorities would refuse to ratify (/accept?) ISO 639-3, ostensibly for political reasons. Now that it has a code, however, I'm more than happy to give this eligible status. The fact that it doesn't (yet) have an Ethnologue page doesn't matter at all.
I'll contact WMSE to see if they would be interested in supporting this language edition. As far as I can tell, there are still no native speakers who have signed up for the proposal.

Michael's comments to the request http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/cr_files/PastComments/CR_Comments_2015-046.pdf summarize the issues with the previous language code much better than I can, you should give it a read if interested.

Marked as eligible. (In relation to Gerard's objection, just to note that the language actually has ISO 639-3 code.)

Oliver, Antony, you should be there, as well. Let me talk with organizers, so we could organize the second LangCom meeting. As usual, in Berlin.

Well, they also have a policy of max. two representatives per entity, and I don't even have an invitation. So I guess I'll let it go.

Why don't someone (an official member) talk with the organisers of WMCON. Maybe they can give a small talk or at least participate of the corridors talk.
Many people with many native languages attend the WMCON. Even if they aren't speakers of languages now in the incubator maybe they know someone in their own lands who do speak or will meet some speakers of small languages.
Would be great, in my opinion, if the participants could get information about the Langcom and its work. They will come back to their lands and language areas with more information and will guide more people there to you.

I agree. Langcom should give a presentation during the conference. it would definitely be useful for chapters like mine, Canada.

This seems very relevant to the Strategy thread.

I think it's not exactly public but there are also different “tracks“ or whatever (e.g. I was invited for the “strategy track“, iirc). So probably not everyone is attending everything all of the time, which should leave time e.g. for a meeting of langcom members, if we want.

Since I live in Berlin, I'd also be interested in going to a Langcom meeting if there was going to be one.

Gerard, may you take a look into the last link I sent: They have ISO 639-3 code now: http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=ovd

The request [1] is for a North Germanic language [2] spoken in Sweden. There is no Ethnologue page about it, but there is SIL page [3], which indicates it's about a relatively new addition.
It's spoken by ~2000 people, but Sweden is one of the richest countries in the world and I am sure this language has a chance to become a valid encyclopedic language.
