ISO 639-3 code for International Sign Language--a good idea? How to proceed?

[GerardM]

Hoi,
Reading the PDF I get the impression that International Sign evolved out of
Gestuno. I have the impression that Gestuno is not used any more. When this
is correct, there may be no need to ask for a code for Gestuno. Do I have
this right or is there more to it ??
Thanks,
    Gerard
