Back to your request.. I talked to Thomas last night and am seeing Renate Christ today. I've just drafted a short note to give her with some of Dave's points. I'm asking to see if we can get an IPCC response. Thomas has spoken to her, and he has also talked to some Swiss Lawyers he knows through the University in Bern and also at WMO. Whether we will get something in time is an issue. Renate is off for the whole of August, but will be back in Geneva next week. I'll warn her to be careful what is said, and to be consistent in an future response, and that whatever is said will likely appear on some blog sites fairly quickly. I was on the boat trip last night to the dinner. David Warrilow was behind me talking to a Pauline Midgeley (who is a Brit, but she's in the TSU team in Bern). David mentioned the name David Holland. It seems that they are beginning to take the issue more seriously.

I am going to treat this under FOIA as I believe that the essence of the request is a request for a 'contract' and correspondence relating to the transmission/transfer of information that just happens to be environmental in nature. In the end, I'm not sure it makes that much difference to the outcome. Perhaps a matter to add to our meeting on Monday? I will make the appropriate acknowledgement of the request. Due date is 13 August.

I would like to receive copies of all agreements or other correspondence where such restrictions have been placed.
