I have no problem with the JAC just balloting--and approving--it for 
639-2, in which case it is automatically added to 639-3. I had said as 
much during that teleconference, that if an identifier is going to be 
considered for 639-2, it should just go through the existing 639-2 process 
of JAC discussion and balloting, and if approved, it enters both parts. If 
not approved, then it could be considered for 639-3, if warranted.

The exceptions to this would be
1) it is a collective code element, and does not get included in Part 3
2) it causes a conflict with something in Part 3, in which case I alert 
the JAC to that problem during the discussion phase, and specific issues 
are addressed

I see no problem with Blissymbols...
Vote: yes

Since this was in the pipeline for ISO 639-2, shouldn't it have been
considered in the same for 639-3? 

To clarify the process... If we get a request for 639-2, first we see if
it's in 639-3 and propose it for 639-2 if it meets the criteria. If it is
requested for 639-2 and it isn't in 639-3, it then gets requested for
both, (assuming it meets the criteria)? It probably should have been
requested for 639-3 during the last revision period since it was submitted
in 2006, but I guess it looks like it fell between the cracks.
