<html> Fred,    Just wondering what other means besides the CAUT list you've got for soliciting endorsements. I don't recall any recent mention in the Journal, and I'm just curious about other avenues. Dunno if Trade Relations Committee can be of assistance. (but we're willing, I think) I know Shawn at home office has some sources. Anyway, Later, Semper Gumby, Guy   At 01:05 PM 11/4/2003 -0700, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hi all, <x-tab>        </x-tab>The revised Guidelines for Effective Institutional Piano Maintenance has been completed and posted to our web site for many months now. It is time that it be released in printed and bound form. The only thing missing is the endorsements page. 47 caut's have agreed to have their names appear on the endorsements page so far. We hope to have over 100 names there. <x-tab>        </x-tab>So this is a plea to those of you who have not yet responded: please go to <a href="http://www.ptg.org/caut.php/guidlines_pg.htm" eudora="autourl">http://www.ptg.org/caut.php/guidlines_pg.htm</a> and look over the revised document. I think you will find that it is something you would be only too happy to stand behind. If so, please email your name and the name of your institution(s) to fssturm@unm.edu. <x-tab>        </x-tab>If you have already done this, please check that your name is included below, and that spelling and information are correct. And please take a look through the list. If you know colleagues who aren't included, please contact them and urge them to join you in endorsing this document. <x-tab>        </x-tab>We would like to bring this to completion by the end of this year, so we are setting December 1 as the deadline for inclusion in the list of endorsers.
