   Sorry to be slow Christoph
   I am really  happy to endorse all of Heinz's comments (and by inference) , Mike's also. If
   it was necessary to have a participant from Hamburg , I would support Eduardo .
   best wishes

     Dear Christoph,

     I have only a few additional comments concerning the planned workshop.

     First of all, I support this concept. Related to the topics, I heavily support to
     organize a discussion about how we can reconstruct different paremeters independently.
     It is important to try to reconstruct air pressure as a basic circulation parameter - if
     possible.

     Concerning the participants:
     - Write GooSSe;
     - Mikami from Japan (Tokyo Metropolitan University) could be an interesting Asian
     participant;
     - You mentioned Kevin Trenberth or Mark Cane. Both are absolutely okay, but why not
     invite a younger colleague like Mike Evans from Tucson?
     - If Phil and Mike do not support von Storch it does not make sense to invite him (and
     Eduardo Zorita?);
     - For me Ulrich Cubasch is an interesting modeler with good ideas about paleomodeling.
     Maybe Gavin can comment this when he is back from his China trip?

     Cheers,   Heinz
