I spotted a EG.2 + S:K304N today: A22474T,C9430T, T18471C,A6355T

I'm adding it to tasklist, it seems to be jumping fast this week

[FedeGueli]

Thanks @NkRMnZr for noticing and adding :it represents 7 out of 212 samples from okinawa Japan in July

Please propose Branch 1 (see - uncertain) and Branch 3 : see, a bit clearer

Brnch 3 designated EG.2.2 from https://github.com/cov-lineages/pango-designation/commit/94fbed49ecbfc391c3fcc87d17766ee6b34bc9c5

[FedeGueli]

Branch 1 designated XBB.1.16.23 via https://github.com/cov-lineages/pango-designation/commit/9f68787c3a28d8a26a6366c354408f0ed8517227

[FedeGueli]

I think @NkRMnZr you should propose the last branch in the other repo so maybe Cornelius goes to designate it too.
