I would _not_ open a Weak NT playing my current system. I think it's a

If I opened 1D I would rebid 2D. If I thought it were a NT hand, I
would have opened 1NT.

I think I will show the Diamnod length and maximum high-card values by
bidding 3D. I assume/hope that is forcing because I really like my
hand now that he has shown length in a suit where I have two honors.
