We at LC certainly hope to hear discussion of the White Paper as soon as you 
think of things to say.  But it seems pretty clear now that the first thing 
that will happen is that nonroman headings will be imported into the authority 
file (as references) automatically from current OCLC records, and then there 
will be a six-month discussion/comment period to decide how to solve the issues 
that will arise from this.

We can get the jump on the situation by considering some issues now.  I'll 
throw some out later if you don't come up with ideas of your own--but I expect 
you WILL have ideas of your own, and good ones too.

Let's talk!

on second thought, considering the time line involved, maybe we need to 
be discussing this before convention...  jasmin
