+# Updated Review of RFC-2: Zarr v3
+
+## Review authors
+This review was written by the following Glencoe Software team members:

+- Sebastién Besson
+- Melissa Linkert
+
+## Summary
+
+The changes to RFC-2 in https://github.com/ome/ngff/pull/250 are sufficient to update our recommendation from "Major changes" to "Accept".
+
+Our original [Concern #1](https://ngff.openmicroscopy.org/rfc/2/review_1.html#concern-1-limited-zarr-v3-implementations) is addressed by the addition of references to zarr-python and zarr-java, as well as [clarifications to the zarr-java API](https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr-java/issues/5) prompted by work on [v2/v3 conversion tools](https://github.com/glencoesoftware/zarr2zarr). Remaining concerns in [our original review](https://ngff.openmicroscopy.org/rfc/2/review_1.html) are addressed by stronger language around how applications should handle multiple versions and the usage of ‘ome’ as the top-level key for the OME-NGFF metadata in zarr.json.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Our recommendation is "Accept". Additionally, as the maintainers of the  [bioformats2raw](https://github.com/glencoesoftware/bioformats2raw) and [raw2ometiff](https://github.com/glencoesoftware/raw2ometiff), we plan to implement Zarr v3 support in these libraries by the end of 2024.
