Thanks for your comments and suggestions, everyone!
Here's the official CC:DA response, which I have just submitted to our NARDAC representatives. I will also add the response to our ALAIR space.

Hi there,
I received no comments from the Metadata Interest Group constituency, but agree that the proposal is sensible. I support the proposal.

The proposal is a sound one and I am happy to add my support (and that of the CLA) to it. I do wonder, though, if, in the 3rd line of the 2nd paragraph of the Background section, it is necessary to include the qualifier "(or numerals)" in the phrase "regnal numbers (or numerals)", especially as part of the spirit of the proposal is to go beyond the use of numerals alone and to allow for the use of written-out words as well.

Colleagues-
NARDAC has submitted a revision proposal, RSC/NARDAC/2025/1, Proposal on numerals associated with given names.
This parallels MARC Proposal No. 2025-02: Redefining Subfield $b in X00 Fields in the MARC 21 Authority and Bibliographic Formats, discussed at the MARC Advisory Committee meeting in January.
We have an opportunity to comment on this NARDAC proposal, although the time frame is short.
To meet NARDAC's response deadline, please reply to this post with any comments you have about this proposal. All members of this community (whether CC:DA members or not) are welcome to comment.
DEADLINE: Close of business, March 4, 2025.
As always, I apologize for the short amount of time we have to gather the CC:DA comments.
