It might have been posted on the WGI web site? I was aware that CQ3.2 was supposed to include urban issues. I've been ignoring it as it just confuses the message the QACC is trying to convey. I'm off home now. I'll think about this overnight. Each QACC would be better after each section, like the boxes. This might mean renumbering. It will also mean moving some figures and their renumbering? Cheers Phil At 16:07 26/07/2005, you wrote: Hi all I just found out I am supposed to help do another CQ: on water vapor and the natural greenhouse effect. Help! Anyway, I was also sent this attachment, which I don't think I had seen before. I recall the meetings on this in Beijing. Several points affect us immediately 1) The CQ's are now labeled : QACCS (Questions about Climate Change Science) - that reeks of a committee decision, doesn't it? 2) In item 4 there are suggestions for CQ3.2 to add stuff on urban effects. So for the moment I have taken the short para from the exec summary and put it in there as a place holder. 3) In item 5 it suggests placing the QACCS in the text at the appropriate places, rather than at the end. This is a bit weird in that the order and numbering is fixed and so QACCS 3.2 will come before QACCS 3.1. It is also apt to disrupt the text somewhat although it makes the figures more complementary. Si maybe we can place it at the end of major sections, not really embedded? Please comment about the latter. I gather we don't have to do this, but perhaps we should? It also means relabeling all the references to CQ to QACCS. Henceforth you will not see CQ any more. Kevin -- **************** Kevin E.
