Dear RMT member,

We have been strongly 'encouraged' by our Advisory Board to broaden 
membership slightly to include someone from the media, another NGO member, 
and an 'economist' or investor, also to think carefully about membership of 
our External Review Panel and our Annual Assessment Panel.  I am therefore 
proposing the following:

1. We invite three more members to our AB:

Roger Harrabin (media; Radio BBC) - reserve Paul Brown (The Guardian)
Bill Hare (NGO; Greenpeace) - reserves Mike Harley (English Nature); Derek 
Norman (NW          	Sustainability Group)
???? (one suggestion Thomas Johansson, energy economist, UNDP/Sweden) - 
others please.

2. On our External Review Panel we will have:

Hasselmann
Otter
Jochem
Schneider (if healthy)
Murlis*
Jefferiss* (or Bill Hare)
Vellinga*
Jaeger*
[* invited, not confirmed]

Costanza and Folke have both said 'no.  Do we go for our reserve Wolfgang 
Cramer or go with Costanza's suggestions Paul Ekins or Nigel Proops (both 
at Keele)?  Or someone else like Rotmans or McCarthy?


3. The Assessment Panel will be the External Review Panel plus:

Butler
Parikh
Guthrie*
[* invited, not confirmed]


So I am looking for suggestions for an 'economist' to join the Board, the 
best substitute for Costanza/Folke, and any other observations on this 
strategy.  The External Review Panel is most critical since they have a 
role to do from mid-March in reviewing our full proposals.

Comments very early in the New Year please.

Mike
