Alan,

I agree a meeting to identify the identity is probably the best way ahead.
Unfortunately the Carbon Trust visit today is cancelled. Illness, not lack
of interest which is still very high. Rearranged for May 24. It might be
better to wait that meeting. In the meantime. I'll be deligthed if you can
keep the good suggestions coming.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced the name is important -
something which is second-nature to you I'm sure!

We might need an international name & a local campaign name - which will
appeal to kids etc - C-out! - that sort of thing.....??!! 

Board reactions - yes, we'll settle for that. We COULD give specific
examples of what it might mean, but would prefer not to at this stage -
seems an uneccessary hostage to fortune. (As Mike said yesterday - if a
community like UEA won't agree to even engage in feasibility studies, what
hope is there for what the Tyndall Centre is trying to do?).
