date: Wed Mar 5 13:39:00 2008 from: Tim Osborn subject: Re: Douglass Paper response from santer et al to: "Glenn McGregor" I wondered just that the other day, given his earlier indication that it would be ready quickly. It turns out that there has been a complete draft for a little while, but because there are many co-authors it is taking time to get everyone's agreement/comments and also some authors, because of their affiliations, may be requiring internal institutional review before submission. I'm not sure what this means in terms of submission time... Tim At 13:17 05/03/2008, you wrote: Tim Any update on whether santer et al are submitting their response to the Douglass paper.
