   Phil--I think you'd be a great candidate for the Ewing Medal. Going to see what I can do to
   drum up some support for this. I believe nominations are not due until mid March,

      Mike,
         Did you get an email from Gerrit - I'll forward it in case you didn't.
      I thought just one of the Fellowships - AGU award a number each year.
      Kevin got one this year - at the Acapulco meeting in May.
      Cheers

     Hey Phil,
     I share your view about EXXON--would be happy to go on record w/ that, do you mean I
     should contact Gerrit to suggest this?
     It would be my pleasure to nominate you for an AGU fellowship, you mean one of the
     prizes right?  I haven't done this before, and would need to look into it.  I can find
     out,

      Mike,
         Happy for you to upload something if you want. I think I'm down for it
      again along with Jean.
          I replied to Gerrit suggesting he had a great debate about EXXON and EGU.
      I said I didn't think AGU would accept EXXON money, but don't know if
      you have.
         Trying to get a copy of the Nobel Peace prize certificate that Patchy
      will collect in Oslo on Dec 10.
        If you get time any time, perhaps you can nominate me for an
      AGU fellowship - probably a lot of work!
      Cheers
      Phil

     Hi Phil,
     I don't know if I mentioned, but I won't be able to make this, but happy to help w/ the
     session planning. Do we already have a session description entered (i.e., the same one
     we've been using for years), or do I need to upload one?

     From: [1]egu2008@copernicus.org
     To: [2]mann@psu.edu
Dear Conveners,

Regarding the EGU General Assembly, Vienna, Austria, 13 - 18 April 2008,
we want to inform you that the Call-for-Paper Programme is now available
on

[3]
http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2008/

The deadline for abstract submission is 14 January 2008.

We kindly remind you to upload your session description as soon as
possible if not yet done so far. The session description is important
for
people looking for the best suited session for submitting their
contribution.

Please see


[4]
http://www.cosis.net/members/meetings/programme/overview_db.php?m_id=49
 for your programme group. Choose your programme group and then
your
session and choose the link "Organizer Session Form" under "For
Organizers and PC's only". Please login with your COSIS-ID. In case you
lost your COSIS data, contact
[5]egu2008@copernicus.org.

1. Organizer Session Form
This tools enables you and your co-conveners to modify the title of your
session; or to upload/accept/change the description of your session;
name
solicited speakers and/or any co-sponsorship, which will then be
summarized under "Information" in the public line; or provide
information about the publication of "proceedings" or
"special issues" of your session or a report about your event
after the assembly for upload under "Publication" and
"Report", respectively, in the public line.

Any changes in the coordinates (address, fax or phone numbers or email)
of any convener or co-convener should be included in their respective
COSIS personal directories first for automatic upload in the chapter
"Organizer" in the public line. If a convener wishes to
add/change co-conveners or editors or members of the organizing
committee, he/she should contact the Copernicus Meeting Office
([6]egu2008@copernicus.org).

2. Contributions
The contributions submitted to your session will be listed under
"Contributions". Only after acceptance by you and your
co-conveners through the "Overviews" tool, the contributions
will be listed for the public in a citable journal style form under
"Accepted Contributions". In this way it is guaranteed that
new
results and techniques are not published in a non-reference able manner.

3. Support Selection
Contributions submitted in connection with an application for financial
support are listed in part 1 of the tool "Support Selection".
Here, you and your co-conveners will also be able to upload further
requests of, e.g. selected solicited speakers, and requests like
"Waiver of Conference Fee" or even a specific amount of money
to assist the participation of a particular speaker.

In part 2, which will become active on 10 December 2007, you and your
co-conveners will then be able to rank all applications in view of the
excellence of the contributions and the importance for your session. The
final decision, however, will be in the hands of the "Support
Selection Committee".

We will inform you in time about each action.

For now, we recommend that you read the chapters about the
"Conveners' Guidelines", "Deadlines & Milestones",
"Abstract Evaluation & Identification" and "Financial
Support" from the home site of the assembly:
