[KS] CKS General Meeting at AAS

[King, Ross]

I would like to add a minor correction to this item on the CKS meeting agenda:

- Initiative with Sungkyunkwan University to draft an MOU to develop Korean languages skill for KS scholars not based in Korea

A more accurate description would be: 

- Initiative with Sungkyunkwan University to draft an MOU to develop an Inter-University Center for Korean Language Studies, for graduate students and scholars of Korean Studies from anglophone and 'Standard Average European'-speaking countries, along the lines of the IUC for Japanese Language Studies in Yokohama and the IUP for Chinese Language Studies in Beijing.
