Dear all
I am ready to write a mini paper of about 2 pages on documentary data. It
will account for the state of the art as achieved within the EU Project
Millennium. However, due to great time constraints the paper will hardly be
ready prior to June 5. 
I hope for your understanding
Christian Pfister

Betreff: important role in proxy uncertainty workshop



Dear Keith, Dominik, Christian, Eric, Eugene, Gavin, Sandy, Peck,  
Konrad, and David,

Because you have each demonstrated your keen ability to collaborate  
constructively in a meeting setting, our organizing committee has  
nominated you to lead an important charge for the upcoming meeting in  
Trieste. Congratulations!  ;)

This meeting has some very lofty goals, and a very short amount of  
time in which to achieve them. Hopefully you will agree to distill  
and frame the contributions from your specific thematic group (trees,  
lakes, models, databases, etc). Your duties would include collecting  
input from your group's scientists, and drafting a 2-3 page document  
ahead of the meeting (see attached). This would form the skeleton of  
a 1/2 hour talk you would then give at the meeting. There will be no  
other prepared presentations, so this is hopefully both an honor and  
an opportunity, as well as a challenge.

The mini-papers should be completed by May 23rd or so.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you accept your honor, so  
we can e-mail the broader group about the pre-meeting tasks and the  
agenda itself.

Thank you very much, and I look forward to seeing you all in Trieste!
Regards, KIM
