date: Tue May 31 11:26:09 2005 from: Phil Jones subject: WGII submission deadline different from WGI to: trenberth@ucar.edu Kevin, WGI and II working to different deadlines. I'm happier with our date, as it should mean we can finalize sections sooner. I propose to send you the current chapter as of June 3 at 5pm my time. I should have 3.5-3.7 finished (at least by me, Roxana, Jim and Panamo). Brian says his revised 3.4 will be later this week (family bereavement). I've been through the Boxes and 3.1. No figures or text yet from Dave. Forwarded two papers to Albert and asked how he's getting on. My fod folder with pdfs in now has 20 in it. Cheers Phil Deadline: Submission of material for assessment by the IPCC Working Group II Fourth Assessment The IPCC is currently undertaking its Fourth Assessment, due to be completed in 2007. Working Group II (WGII) deals with the impacts of climate change, adaptation and vulnerability. If you have written, or know of, material which has appeared since the last assessment (in 2001) and which should be assessed by WGII, please be aware of the following deadlines for submission: The absolute deadline for submission is 14th April 2006. If you plan to submit material after 1st April 2006, you need to warn the WGII in advance by email to [1]ipcc-wg2@metoffice.gov.uk . With respect to what sorts of literature can be assessed: 1. Grey literature can be assessed, following IPCC procedures, which require authors to supply copies for assessment, and to deposit a copy with the WGII Technical Support Unit. 2. Peer-reviewed literature is preferred. Peer-reviewed literature: 1. The deadline of 14th April 2006 applies to submitted manuscripts, not to published papers. 2. Papers would need to be in print by 3rd November 2006, unless under very exceptional circumstances. Grey literature The deadline of 14th April 2006 is absolute. You can submit material direct to the Co-ordinating Lead Authors of the relevant chapters, or to the WGII Technical Support Unit (TSU).
