Karen, Many thanks for sharing Robert Rendall's message. Thanks to all who signed the petition which now has 190 signatures from faculty, researchers, and librarians, from all over the world! As an update, I received a message (with a copy to Deb Brown Stewart ) from Barbara Tillett, offering us an extension to the comment period: "as we are eager to be sure we hear from all parties that would like to suggest their recommendations on how to proceed with the goal of coming closer to modern Greek orthography." I have responded suggesting a meeting of a cross-section of knowledgeable LC staff, catalogers, bibliographers, systems librarians, and subject specialists during ALA annual in D.C. I am awaiting her response. Also to the CC:DA Task Force members, please make your recommendations public as soon as you are allowed to. We are anxious to see them.

It's basically making the same recommendation as option #1 in the Princeton response on the CoHSL list: stop using the "h" for all modern Greek (not just "monotonic orthography") and try to convert old records. CC:DA will be voting on this over the next few days. FYI.
