Maybe put up a poll like:

Do you think OSM should change license for all data from cc-by-sa to odbl?

( ) Yes, I agree
( ) Yes, but the license needs to be improved a bit first
( ) I am not sure
( ) I don't care, my contributions are PD.
( ) I need more information
( ) No, it is bad idea
...

along with link to license text + explkanation why the change would be
necessary, what about possible data deletion, etc ....

Mail everybody with link to the poll - this will both inform people
that something is happeing and also you will get feedback about how
many people are willing to accept the new license.
