cc: Joel Smith , Mike Hulme date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 11:01:58 -0700 (MST) from: Tom Wigley subject: Message for Bo Lim to: natcom@undp.org Bo Lim Chief Technical Advisor National Communications Support Program Global Environment Facility UNDP/UNEP Dear Dr. Lim, Mike Hulme has just sent me a copy of a memorandum you sent to various "colleagues" on December 21, regarding "The Use of Simple Climate Models..." and the MAGICC-SCENGEN software package. It is possible that Mike has not made it clear just who is responsible for the various aspects of this development work. In fact, I am responsible for 90% of this development work. Because of this (and much as I appreciate what Mike is doing), there is one thing I absolutely and categorically insist upon. This is that the Handbook that *I* have produced be used as your support document. Note that I am the first author of this Handbook (with Hulme and others as co-authors). I can send you a copy of this Handbook early in the new year. I'm sorry if there has been any confusion over who holds the effective intellectual property rights to MAGICC. However, the above conditions are the only conditions under which I will allow the MAGICC source code to be used. Yours sincerely, Tom M.L.
