A draft proposal is ready to review. I'm inviting internal review (probably this means @nicholascar) before sending this to ARDC.

Three changes are proposed:

• New concept “Language group”
• New concept “Austlang language codes”
• Updated description for “Group”

I considered a fourth change where the AIATSIS thesaurus of places would be added to Spatial type - but the status of that vocabulary seems uncertain. It would be good to get a better understanding of the AIATSIS thesauri and how they fit in, if at all, to the IDN.
