Dear Robert,

Thanks for what I call a GREAT response! The setting up of any register must not stop in Korea, but continue over into China where, as you may know, the problem has become serious. The average applicant cannot be
held responsible for checking into the validity of each agency or school, especially when it might be his/her very first foreign adventure. The western world offers reliable protective measures to safeguard the interests of its foreign (guest) experts; so, why not a country as enormous as the PRC, where ESL schools are popping up like ears of corn at mid-harvest?

As for the actual setup of such a controlling force, as I am currently here in the States, it would be somewhat difficult to coordinate the components necessary to accomplish such a worthwhile objective. So, under the circumstances, let me ask if there are any of you out there who may have some brilliant ideas on how to get started. My background is writing, so I'm certain I can be of use, irrespective of my locale. YEAH ... a professional register! Right on!

Peace.
