We are proposing a 2-day meeting in February to kick-off the UKCIP DDP aspect of the Defra CEER0607 contract (which we are still waiting for). Please can you let me know your availability for the following days: Wed 21st Feb Thu 22nd Feb Fri 23rd Feb Bryan can only make the 22nd but would very much like to be there for a day. Then we'll try and tack on the 21st or 23rd depending on favoured dates. We intend for the meeting to be held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL, where BADC live: http://www.cclrc.ac.uk/Activity/RALMaps;) in Oxfordshire. The plan for the meeting is to: - review what we have said we'll do. - discuss and decide what we think we need to do. - define and partition the workload into sensible chunks. - discuss solutions that we think we will use. - agree plans for communication, management and meetings. - agree who will do what. Note that I have started drafting sub-contracts so they should be with you soon. Also, a number of other mails can be expected in the next couple of weeks as pre-cursors to the above list. Looking forward to working with you all on this exciting (and only slightly scary) project. Kind regards, Ag
