It seems like NOAA needs to review that some first and then bring it before the WMO at a later date. When it was initially discussed here at CaneTalk it seems like that might have been based on information that was released here on the same day, February 26th:

I don't know if they actually discussed it at that meeting or not, but it seems like it wouldn't be something that would happen until 2022 at the earliest. The Atlantic outlooks will start on May 15th this year:
NOUS41 KNHC 021258 PNSNHC
Public Information Statement NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 AM EST Tue Mar 2 2021
To: NWS Partners, Users, and Employees
From: Michael J. Brennan Branch Chief, Hurricane Specialist Unit National Hurricane Center
Subject: Routine issuance of the Atlantic basin Tropical Weather Outlook beginning on May 15, 2021
In order to provide more frequent information on the potential for tropical cyclone formation as the official June 1 start of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches, the National Hurricane Center will begin routine issuance of the Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook (TWO) and the Graphical TWO at 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC) May 15, 2021.
Given recent increased tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic basin in late May, routine issuance of the Atlantic TWO starting on May 15 offers a service improvement over unscheduled Special TWOs that are issued to discuss the possibility of tropical cyclone formation prior to the official start of hurricane season on June 1.
The Atlantic TWO can be found under AWIPS header MIATWOAT and WMO header ABNT20 KNHC. The TWO and Graphical TWO can also be found online at hurricanes.gov.
Any questions or comments on this change should be directed to:
Michael J. Brennan Branch Chief, Hurricane Specialist Unit Michael.J.Brennan@noaa.gov
