date: Mon, 12 Oct 1998 11:31:39 +0200 from: Laurie.MICHAELIS@oecd.org subject: Storylines to: sres@iiasa.ac.at At the meeting last week in Beijing, I committed to produce a revised draft summary of the storylines for the web site. This is attached. Please could you send comments to me, and copy them to Naki, by Friday 16 October at the latest. At the meeting we agreed on a few points which I've tried to address in the revised draft. The most important is that 1) we see the scenarios as multidimensional rather than adopting the earlier two-axis scheme; 2) we do not want to have a "central", "best guess" or "business-as-usual" case; 3) we do not want to appear to be making policy recommendations and do not want A1 and B1 to appear as "utopias". Hence, I have paid particular attention to redrafting B2 which was previously presented as "dynamics as usual", and to including positive and negative features in all of the scenarios. Thanks very much for your prompt comments!
