How about a sign-up list that would be published at the 'korean studies
list' Web site, or at the AKSE Web site. This list could include
a statement that the Korea specialists listed will not use the
new transcription system. Everyone in agreement with this *could*
(please don't do it now) then send an e-mail to Dr. Provine (if he agrees)
with the word "no" in the subject line (or whatever seems convenient).
