date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 19:04:31 -0600 from: Martin Manning subject: [Wg1-ar4-las] The WG1 Review process is underway to: wg1-ar4-las@joss.ucar.edu Dear Lead Authors Those of you who are registered as expert reviewers for the first order draft will have recently received the general invitation that has gone out to about 1200 experts around the world inviting them to submit review comments and providing them with the access details for the WG1 FOD review web site. For those of you who did not receive this I am attaching here for your information another copy of the "invitation-to-review" letter from the WG1 co-chairs. You are welcome to access the review web site as explained in the attached letter in order to obtain a copy of the draft as it has been distributed. We will shortly be sending Word document versions of each chapter to the corresponding CLAs so that you will have this exact version to work from when considering revisions. Please note that we are asking that all review comments be submitted through the TSU as we are conducting a formal review process and operating under some specific IPCC rules. In particular, it is important to avoid any perception that certain colleagues or groups of scientists have special channels for making comments to you as authors. Thus all comments are to be treated equally and if you have colleagues who would like to make comments on the draft we would ask that you urge them to register as a reviewer on our main web site: [1]http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/wg1_home.html (use the link under "News") and to then submit their comments as part of the standard review process. People registering this way will receive the review instructions from us promptly. Finally, on behalf of the TSU, may I express my sincere appreciation to you all, and particularly to the CLAs, for the quality of the first order draft as submitted. While you will see that the TSU has made many small changes for consistency in format and to correct some errors, this job was made much easier by the care that you obviously all put into preparing the draft in the first place. A list of changes made by the TSU to each chapter (other than formatting) will be sent to the CLAs shortly - these cover things like correcting some cross referencing between chapters, and will include a list of any references that were removed because they were to papers that are not yet available.
