   Nigel and Melvin,
   As fellow Tyndall people at the meeting Martin refers to, is there anything you can/should
   add to Martin's analysis about the way forward?  Before talking with Martin I would like
   other views.  My various discussions with David Warrilow would not necessarily have led me
   to the same conclusion.  I will be seeing David next week and will ask.
   Thanks,
   Mike

     Mike:
     The view of the fast track team that emerged when we met on 3rd July was that
     DEFRA would view a bid from Tyndall for DEFRA funding actually quite
     negatively since Tyndall is receiving public funds.  What we propose to do is
     to bid to DEFRA as the fast track group, but also make a research proposal to
     Tyndall in Round 2 for funding that makes links to Tyndall's developing
     integrated assessment model.  This should strenthen both Tyndall's and
     DEFRA's products.
     We have suggested to David Warrilow that this work should not be considered
     until the current phase is complete (c. April 2002).

     Martin,
     I have 2 visitors on the 3 July here at UEA so may not be able to come.
     I think it is important that if DEFRA tender for further work that Tyndall
     Centre provides the umbrella under which we bid - we formally have Arnell,
     Cannell, Parry and informally LSHTM.  I am also exploring ways of bringing
     Nicholls and Martens into the Centre framework.
     DEFRA are looking for ways of working more closely with Tyndall and this is
     one route.  I have a feeling however that DEFRA may want something rather
     rough and ready compared to HJS's long-term view of tighter model
     integration.  Still, it may be a stepping stone.
     I would like to talk about this before the 3rd.
     My concept document from last year is attached.
     Mike
