Mann" subject: Re: workshop: participants / 1.Circular to: Christoph Kull Dear All, There is only one reasonable solution now. Since Zorita has been invited, so also must be Eugene Wahl of Alfred University ([1]wahle@alfred.edu) who has been doing extensive work in testing the statistical reconstruciton methods...This would introduce back some degree of balance in the participants. If Wahl is invited, I would reconsider participating in this, Mike Christoph Kull wrote: Dear Mike, I got the email below from you, where you replied on the note from Keith and Phil....I therefore assumed that you both can live with the suggestion made by Keith and Heinz of having a member of the German team (Zorita) on board. We will certainly expect from all participants to contribute in a constructive way! In the cc list I copied the PAGES/CLIVAR chairs and the PAGES chair for information on the ongoing activity. This seems justified to me. Sorry to boarder you - this really wasn't intended! All the best, Christoph On 28.11.2005 17:40, "Michael E. Mann" [2] wrote: I agree. looks very great. I'm at an NSF meeting right now, and may mention this is an upcoming activity relevant to the ESH program... mike Phil Jones wrote: sending again as Mike's old email address is there. Christoph, I have nothing further to add. Happy for invitations to go out.

Obviously, inviting Hans von Storch is not practical,but Eduardo is , I believe, objective and fair and would certainly contribute constructively (and could include relevant work from Gerd Burger from Berlin, who published the recent Tellus paper on the various simulated reconstructions). best wishes all Keith At 13:40 28/11/2005, Christoph Kull wrote: Dear all, I incorporated the comments received so far regarding the 1. Circular for the "Past Millennia Variability" workshop and made the final version (attached). Attached is also the finalized participants list. Please have a quick look - thanks! We once also discussed having an Asian participant. Actually, there is nobody from Japan or China on the list... If you agree, I will send out the information (1. Circular, "Invited Participant list") this week.
