   some good names , but the timescale is surely unrealistic this time round. I can get his cv
   but I think peoiple will possibly be irritated if rushed? I will try and get his cv to you
   asap anyway
   cheers

     Hi Keith, timescale is July 1 (I know... need to find out how bad if some letters come
     late)
     Francis and I thought we could get letters from Simon Tett, Ben Santer, MIke Wallace,
     Brian Hoskins (both fellows) Ray Bradley (dont remember
     if fellow). what do you think? But neither Francis nor I are fellows. I checked with
     Susan and she is frustrated with her last few tries so is not pushing
     anybody in the moment.

     I would have thought that the nomination should best come from someone elswhere and
     probably best from an American and presumably an existing Fellow. I confess that I do
     not know who these are but presumably easy to find out. Also , what is the time scale
     for this?

     well quiet in comparison to the big battleships that get all the big prizes partly for
     accomplishment and partly for believing science would
     collapse without them?
     thanks so much, Francis only found a 2003 CV on his webpage. I am not sure if people
     from same place write letters - what do you think?

     Absolutely great idea - I think he deserves it and would appreciate it. He is not so
     quiet often also. I am not aware that anyone has tried this before . I can probably get
     a recent cv if needed

     Hi Keith, between us: I am thinking of nominating Phil as an AGU fellow since I think in
     his quiet way he has done huge amounts
     for climate change research. Do you know if somebody has tried this yet? Do you think
     its a good idea?
     do you have an up to date vita if you think it is a good idea? Francis is all for this
     as well, and Nathan thought it was a good idea
     (as does Simon think etc). If you think its a good idea good to know soon since time is
     running out on us
