So who wants to start up the CRT for Otherworld/Subspace being 1-A for transcending the concept of time?
 
Speaking of canonical things, how are we going to consider what will be canonical? Things released after Toriyama.

Be it upcoming guides that may be released, magazines, films, additional game information (like kakarot) and so on?

Are we going to consider canonical things based on Toyotarō's participation/speech? Or what else?

I'll reiterate something that I said months ago as I feel it's the best way to answer your question: While Toriyama was the creator of Dragon Ball, and everyone took his suggestions and corrections to heart, the franchise's ownership is split between four different parties that hold a specific piece to the franchise to themselves. The manga license is owned by Shueisha aka the owners of Shonen Jump, the anime and movie license is sort of jointly owned by Toei Animation and CC Tokyo (I know the later fought to get the anime license, but Toei is still officially credited with Daima so I think they're working together), and Bandai Namco own the game and merchandise license.

So how do we determine what will be considered canon? Admittedly it's a difficult question to truly answer as Toriyama was such a massive figure and could influence anything he wished, though since he's passed away that will be much more difficult from now on. But my personal interpretation as that anything the manga releases will be canon, the same thing applies for the movies and anime (with bits of the manga being spliced into the anime side of things), and the video games will just be their own thing unless there's official collaborations or statements that their stories which are part of the Dragon Ball narrative. And, before I forget, I imagine that Toyotaro will also have a lot to do with this as well since he's considered Toriyama's successor.
