cc: samantha.jones@uea.ac.uk,"H.J. Schellnhuber" date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 15:12:40 +0000 from: Mike Hulme subject: Advisory Board members to: Neil Adger ,Nigel Arnell , Mike Hulme , Nick Jenkins , Simon Shackley , Andy Watkinson ,j.g.shepherd@soton.ac.uk, brian.launder@umist.ac.uk,j.kohler@econ.cam.ac.uk,mnt@soc.soton.ac.uk Dear RMT member, We have been strongly 'encouraged' by our Advisory Board to broaden membership slightly to include someone from the media, another NGO member, and an 'economist' or investor, also to think carefully about membership of our External Review Panel and our Annual Assessment Panel. I am therefore proposing the following: 1. We invite three more members to our AB: Roger Harrabin (media; Radio BBC) - reserve Paul Brown (The Guardian) Bill Hare (NGO; Greenpeace) - reserves Mike Harley (English Nature); Derek Norman (NW Sustainability Group) ???? (one suggestion Thomas Johansson, energy economist, UNDP/Sweden) - others please. 2. On our External Review Panel we will have: Hasselmann Otter Jochem Schneider (if healthy) Murlis* Jefferiss* (or Bill Hare) Vellinga* Jaeger* [* invited, not confirmed] Costanza and Folke have both said 'no. Do we go for our reserve Wolfgang Cramer or go with Costanza's suggestions Paul Ekins or Nigel Proops (both at Keele)? Or someone else like Rotmans or McCarthy? 3. The Assessment Panel will be the External Review Panel plus: Butler Parikh Guthrie* [* invited, not confirmed] So I am looking for suggestions for an 'economist' to join the Board, the best substitute for Costanza/Folke, and any other observations on this strategy. The External Review Panel is most critical since they have a role to do from mid-March in reviewing our full proposals. Comments very early in the New Year please. Mike
