subject: RE: 2007 Bali Declaration on Climate Change
to: Matthew England <M.England@unsw.edu.au>



Sorry, two points I overlooked earlier:

1/  Once signatures are finalised we will list those signing in
    alphabetical order, not according to time of sign-on.    

2/  We are commissioning an official translation of the Declaration into 
    the top-ten most widely used languages (Chinese, Hindi, ...).  These
    will appear on the web as .pdf links shortly.  We do want a global
    spread of signatures so pls send on suggestions of top scientists from 
    developing nations.

Thanks again, Matthew
