Dear Mike, dear Colin,
   I like the acronym, in general, but at the same time I think it 
would emphasize too much of the missing C story which I believe many 
funding agencies are tired to hear about. Even though this is a 
missing-C-proposal, too, I think we should really emphasize the 
interannual question, rather than the absolute location of the C sink.
   But this made me wonder, and I'll ask this to Colin as well: What 
about the "political preparation" for this proposal. Do you have any 
idea who to contact in Brussels and ask about further views on the 
draft before the deadline? Unfortunately, my network is not very well 
developed at this point, although I have one person I can contact. 
Since I have successfully avoided making too much contacts with these 
people so far, I would like to see your and Colin's view about the most 
appropriate way ahead before I do any telephone lobbying myself.

   Cheers,

   Wolfgang
