   Dear Keith,


   Slowly I am getting an overview over Task 1.2

   Yet there are still some points that need clarification from your part:


   -          Does 1.1 include ice-core data, varves and tree rings? I assume so. This would
   then also signify that 1.1 would be responsible to collate long time series of tree-ring
   and varve data in relation to Holocene climate reconstruction

   -          Does 1.4 include peat records and rhizopods? Seeing Dan Charman as one of the
   taskleader I assume so, which would also mean that 1.4 collates these data

   -          What about CO2 reconstructions for the Holocene that do not derive from
   ice-cores? I am thinking of stomatal density derived CO2 records. They would fit into 1.5
   but I am not sure whether the ice-core lobby will be happy to deal with them as they tend
   to show somewhat different results.


   Could you let me have a quick answer?


   Many thanks,


   Andy
