I was a Key Contributor to Chapter 3 in SAR WGI 1996 And a Review Editor to Chapter 3 in TAR WG2 2001 My UE employment has been from 1988 onwards If we're try to milk this for glory then go for the IPCC DDC also as Tim suggests. Other UEA people missing from AR4 Neil Adger, Andrew Watkinson, Xianfu Lu and Rachel Warren. On a more questioning note: what is the IPCC that got the NPP? Is it the Bureau who run it, the Chairman who chairs it, the Governments who own it, or the scientists who contribute? I've never signed any membership form for IPCC - nor the 10,000s who have contributed over the years. The best answer might be the Governments who own it, in which case all the Governments of the world have won the NPP - brilliant! Who receives the £1,500,000 Prize? Not me. It's surprising there was no discussion about this beforehand.

But I also thought that the management and hosting of the IPCC DDC was worth including, so I added some text below the tables. Perhaps Mike can improve/edit this, if people think it's a contribution of sufficient stature to include?
