It may be much solace, but I think we are in better shape than some of the other chapters ! Hearing snippets about Chs 1,6,9 and 10. I'm trying to deal with some of the problems in mine. Reviewers would have a field day with the way some parts have been written. I'm leaving notes in if bits are clearly missing. With so many review stages to come, it is hard to know how much effort to put in at this time. I'll persevere though when I get chances this week. Have a lot of other things on from Wednesday. Sent the reminders to the Japanese and Mark Rodwell. Cheers Phil At 15:58 29/11/2004, you wrote: Phil Ten inches of snow here today. I will send out a bunch of messages shortly on status. Have sections from Roxana, Brian and Jim, plus David. Problems with all. I feel need to try to resolve some problems, and it is going to take time: really need a meeting. So only one outstanding is Panmao. He now seems to be trying and going in right direction. Kevin Phil Jones wrote: Kevin, Meant to add one other thing. Still can't understand why Bin Wang is doing what he is. The outline says he is just doing one section 3.7.1 - clear enough ! Do I gather from your emails over the last few days that you have your sections from Jim and Roxana, and you're just waiting on Brian and Panmao? It seems that David, Dave and Albert have been let down by a number of potential CAs. This seems to have affected Dave more than the others - there are a lot of regional gaps in many sections in 3.3. I'll chase up on the tropical cyclone stuff with the Japanese contact. Still not got anything and Chris Landsea didn't send anything. I'll also email Mark Rodwell for you. Albert's section is a curate's egg - good in parts.
