date: Thu, 3 Mar 2005 13:36:38 -0700 from: Jonathan Overpeck subject: [Wg1-ar4-ch06] IPCC - please send input asap to: wg1-ar4-ch06@joss.ucar.edu, Bette Otto-Bleisner Hi all - as you can see from the email below (thanks Fortunat), we REALLY need feedback from ALL of the LA's of chapter 6. As of now, we only have about half of the responses. Please try to make the IPCC a higher priority so that we can ensure a good job - it's hard to imagine a more important goal.. As soon as we have most of the responses, we will compile and circulate. Don't forget the other deadlines that are also near at hand. Please note that we REALLY will need the requested input on other chapters as soon as possible - this is because we are starting to set the agenda for the Beijing meeting, and we want to be in the driver's seat as much as possible. Many thanks for working hard on behalf of our chapter and the IPCC! Best, Peck >o.k. Peck, > >I have not yet seen any other comments.
