Dear Chapter 6 Lead Authors:

We're looking forward to seeing you all in 
Beijing, and having a productive meeting. As far 
as we know, everyone is coming except Jean-Claude 
(for health reason), Dominique (also health 
reasons) and David (prevented from traveling by 
NASA). We have quite a bit to accomplish at this 
meeting, and thus we expect that all attending 
will do some homework before they arrive. This 
should include:

a) please read all the comments, and for those 
relevant to your sections (or others) please note 
how you intend to deal with them. Of course, we 
won't talk about little edits, but we want to 
make sure that the group can discuss anything 
more serious. For each section, we plan to ask 
each responsible person to GIVE A SHORT 
PRESENTATION on what must be done. We hope that 
all LA's will have input for each section. PLEASE 
SEE ATTACHED FILE FOR ASSIGNMENTS, and NOTE THAT 
WE HAD TO MAKE NEW ASSIGNMENTS IN ORDER TO COVER 
FOR THOSE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND.

NB: There will be a projector in our Chapter 
discussion room, so bring Powerpoint 
presentations as you feel.

b) please reread the other chapter(s) for which 
you are responsible (SEE ATTACHED LIST FOR 
ASSIGNMENTS), as well as the comments you 
prepared earlier. For anything significant (e.g., 
overlap or achieving cross-IPCC consistency), YOU 
SHOULD BE PREPARED TO LEAD DISCUSSION for your 
chapter.

c) think extra hard about the fact that our 
chapter is significantly too long and that it 
must be shortened. What text and figures can we 
cut? Please note that our criteria includes that 
the material discussed must be relevant to 
policy, new since TAR, and not just a review of 
the field.

d) make sure you bring your calendars - we will 
discuss and agree on a schedule of deadlines. 
Unlike our experience with the ZOD, we will have 
to meet more deadlines. The First Order Draft 
(FOD) must be perfect! This will include nice 
final figures, and a complete bibliography.

e) we will discuss section 6.2.2 (with Valerie 
and us in the lead), and how we will ensure this 
important section, and its more detailed 
expansion in the appendix, will be covered. We 
propose that we and a small number of 
contributing authors to do the job. Please come 
with names of individuals who will be potentially 
expert in this area (e.g., with describing the 
nature of proxies), AND who will promise to work 
hard to meet deadlines.

Please feel free to circulate any special ideas 
or requests to the group before the weekend.

See you in Beijing!

Best, Peck and Eystein
