What stage are you at with the Esper, Mann, McItrick work? Is it worth worrying about McItrick?

It's unfortunate as I would have made a few points concerning the make-up of the consortium and allocation of proposed funds (potential conflicts given our submitted/in preparation critiques of both Moberg and Esper; whether there is a need to pay for development of wavelet code given that (a) IDL wavelet code already exists, and (b) the use of wavelets is, in my view, irrelevant to the outcome of the reconstructions; etc.). Plus we would have wanted some part of the funding to help us with our analyses of Esper, Mann and McItrick work including alternatives that reduce bias. As for the workshop, currently 25-29 July is possible for me and I've pencilled it into my diary. But I am currently trying to find dates for the final meeting of our EU project SO&P and if the selected dates overlap then that will have to take precedence. But I hope to attend.
