   Phil,

   Sorry for not getting back to you sooner - been trying to get a few other requests out the
   door this am.



   I think the text is a good idea including a reference to future plans but I would phrase it
   to not mention specific Met agencies but rather something along the lines of 'Subject to
   obtaining consent for publication from the rights holders..." .



   I would NOT mention Mr. McIntyre on any of our pages - we can't really state that the
   CRUTEM2 data is publicly available as we have no idea what Mr. McIntyre intends to do with
   it and I think any mention of him personally is risky at best.  I think any mention of the
   existence of the data sets either 'taken' from our ftp server or secured from the Met
   Office would be risky until we know what will be done with them and our (and the rights
   holders') response to the acquisition of this data.  Annie - your thoughts on this?



   Finally - in regards your earlier email, I'm not sure I understand the relationship between
   the acquisition of the data from us (CRUTEM2) and the data supposedly secured from the Met
   Office.  Are they the same data sets or different? I guess I'm trying to get a handle on
   what Mr. McIntyre actually has in his possession....



   Cheers, Dave

      Dave,
         Here's what I propose to do over the next week or two.
      I will get the agreements scanned and write some text about them and
      the others that we have had.
         CRU had longer term plans with the Hadley Centre to release all the data
      they want when we do the next update in 2010.  I could add this in to some
      text I write - saying we will do this once we've contacted various Met Services.
      I'm not sure about this? Is saying the least best? I could say for example that
      McIntyre has a version through 2002 and not the current one. I'll
      pass the text by a couple of people here and also by you, but if you have any
      thoughts let me know.
      Cheers
      Phil

     See below - What now folks?

     In reality, we don't have any IPR in the raw data so we have no 'rights' to it, and any
     action on our part would be as against the Met Office for breaching the terms of the
     agreement under which we provided the data to them.

     I should have added to my prior email that part of the response to data requests would
     be that it would be 'manifestly unreasonable' to disaggregate the data to parse out the
     data that is NOT covered by the agreements noted....

     Cheers, Dave

       Dave,

           See this link below. This message sent by someone at the Hadley Centre.
      I guess we don't rise to the bait.  Can we say taunting is vexatious?
      Cheers
      Phil

     This suggests to me that as there is no way that Dan would be aware its not him. Could
     it be that Mr. M sniffed the FTP site and ahs led everyone a merry dance. Can you log
     when that file was accessed? One for Mike and IT support at your end?
