to: IPCC WGI TSU <ipcc-wg1@ucar.edu>

    Dear  WG1 TSU,
         I've given several talks - on both the whole WG1 and also on Chapter 3.
    UK Royal Society in March 2007 - Chapter 3
    French Academy also in March 2007 - Chapters 3/6
    Korean Meteorological Society also in March 2007 - Chapters 3,6 and 9
    Summer school (organized by Qin Dahe) at CMA, July 2007- Chapters 3, 6 and 9
    Teaching at UEA last autumn.
    Summer School this July 2008 in Germany - whole report (based
    on my modifications to Susan's 30 slide talk).
    Spanish climate meeting in Tarragona, Spain October 2008
    Most media requests died down quickly after the Paris meeting, but
    there were resurgences after the WG2, WG3 plenaries and again after
    Valencia.
    Unfortunate side effect has been Freedom of Information Act (UK) requests
    related to IPCC rules and who made changes to Chapter 6. Dealing
    with these with Keith Briffa and Tim Osborn through UEA FOI person.
    Our responses to these appear on Climate Audit quite soon after they leave here.
    John Mitchell (MOHC) is also being affected by these.
    Cheers
    Phil

     Dear Colleagues,
     The TSU is currently compiling information regarding the dissemination of the findings
     of the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. We recognize
     that it is often impossible to separate the presentation of IPCC WG1 findings from your
     own research or general science material when giving talks. We would greatly appreciate
     it if you could provide us with a very short summary of your presentations of the WG1
     material given at conferences, workshops, briefings, and/or other outreach related
     events since the approval and acceptance of the WG1 AR4. A sample paragraph is shown
     below, but please feel free to add more detail if you wish. We realize that this is not
     a trivial request for many of you, but your activities will provide us with key
     information on how the AR4 was disseminated by our authors.
     We kindly request that you provide any information by 21 July 2008.
     Many thanks in advance.
     Best regards,
     WGI TSU
     SAMPLE:
     Since the AR4, I frequently give talks on IPCC WG1 and climate at [schools, local
     communities, other], typically X times per month. I also have presented WG1 material at
     XX scientific meetings, including YY, ZZ, and AA. I also briefed the governor of my
     province and gave a presentation at the Science Academy of XX.
