Hi

I implemented the changes & submitted the reregistration for the Surrey
Morphology Group databases, but I don't see us on the list of those having done
so. Is there something more which needs to be done?

> CLAL        clal.cornell.edu              static
> Ethnologue  ethnologue.com                full
> LACITO      lacito.archivage.vjf.cnrs.fr  full
> PARADISEC   paradisec.org.au              static
> Perseus     perseus.tufts.edu             full
> TRACTOR     tractor.de                    static
> LDC         ldc.upenn.edu                 static

> The remaining registered OLAC repositories are still in their
