to: Jonathan Overpeck <jto@u.arizona.edu>

   Dear Peck :
   I had received  your email of Juan.9 on Juan. 12. and replied immediately.
   On your request, a list 'of all issues/tasks on Chapter 6 ZOD I think ' is sent to you and
   Eystein by the deadline Feb.24.
   Attached is the 'list '.

   Once you receive the mail ,please reply a message. Because our email-net has some trouble
   recently.
   Best wish

      Greetings Chap 6 Lead Authors:
      By now, the rush up to the ZOD is hopefully but a fond memory, and you're ready to get back
      into the thick of IPCC chapter work. Both Chapter 6 and the other chapters are now on the
      WG 1 website for all of you to enjoy and critique. See your email from the WG1 TSU for
      information on how to get ZOD chapters.
      As you read our chapter, you will no doubt be thinking - "it's really too bad we did so
      much at the last minute, and that the ZOD is so rough." The science is in there, and you
      all did a great job, but in the future, we won't have the luxury of sending an incomplete
      draft to the TSU. The purpose of this email is to set a deliberate pace to ensure that our
      FOD is as perfect and polished as possible. Anything short of this will look bad to our
      colleagues, and will cost us more work in the official post-FOD IPCC review process. PLEASE
      MEET ALL DEADLINES below.
      Please read all of this communication and NOTE the deadlines - we are asking that you all
      respond quickly on a couple issues.

      ****1) Due as soon as you read this email - we would like to consider a pre-May LA meeting
      involving all, or a sub-set of LAs, and would like to know when you are available to meet
      for 2 days (plus travel to/from US East Coast). The purpose would be to get much further
      ahead with the FOD and to be able make the most of the Beijing LA2 meeting in May. Remember
      how frustrating the Trieste meeting was due to the lack of time. Please let us know if you
      are available to meet April 12,13 (Tues/Wed) and April 19,20 (Tues/Wed).  We will pick the
      dates that work best. Funding would be handled in the usual IPCC manner.

      ****2) Due February 24, 2005 - each person should read ALL of the Chapter 6 ZOD. As you do
      this, please compiling a list of all the issues/tasks you think need to be dealt with and
      completed before the FOD. For example:

      o what important issues or disagreements remain unresolved and what needs to be done to
      resolve them?
      o what work is needed to make the text better?
      o what key (relevant) science is missing?
      o what key references are missing or need to be updated?
      o are there key display items that need to be deleted or added?
      o what work is needed to make final draft display items?
      Each LA should provide the above information to PECK and EYSTEIN on a section-by-section
      basis by February 24. Please let us know NOW if you can't meet this deadline.

      ****3) Due March 3, 2005 -  (we have to meet a key IPCC deadline) -Now that we have our
      ZOD, we have been requested to provide input for the official IPCC AR4 Glossary. Please see
      the attached glossary document, and follow the instructions included at the top of that
      file. THIS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS OUR OTHER WORK. Each LA should provide this information
      TO PECK AND EYSTEIN by March 3. Please let us know NOW if you can't meet this deadline.
      ****4) Due March 10, 2005 - in Trieste, we assigned Chapter Liaisons for each of the other
      WG1 chapters. This liaison list is attached below. Please note that some of you are
      liaisons for more than one other chapter. For each chapter for which you are liaison (and
      more if you are so inspired), please compile:
      o a list of substantive scientific suggestions for the LAs of that chapter, particularly as
      they relate to Chapter 6 - don't get bogged down in general editing.
      o a list of issues that our Chapter 6 team must work on to ensure compatibility with other
      chapters; in each case, describe the issue and how you think it should best be resolved.
      Ideally, we can do much of this before Beijing.
      Each LA should provide the above information to PECK and EYSTEIN by March 10. Please let us
      know NOW if you can't meet this deadline.
      ********************************
      Lastly, we have some good news. As you all know, Bette Otto-Bleisner did a great
      last-minute job in helping with section 6.4.2 (Equilibrium model evaluations), and has made
      it possible for us to tap into PMIP2 in a much needed manner. We clearly need her continued
      major contribution, and thus asked the IPCC WG1 Bureau to appoint her to our LA team. Susan
      Solomon supported this request and we recently received a positive response. So, welcome to
      the team, Bette!

      PLEASE work hard to meet deadlines - I think we all know what happens when deadlines are
      not met, and we cannot afford to miss deadlines any longer.

      Thanks, Peck and Eystein
