Congratulations! ;) This meeting has some very lofty goals, and a very short amount of time in which to achieve them. Hopefully you will agree to distill and frame the contributions from your specific thematic group (trees, lakes, models, databases, etc). Your duties would include collecting input from your group's scientists, and drafting a 2-3 page document ahead of the meeting (see attached). This would form the skeleton of a 1/2 hour talk you would then give at the meeting. There will be no other prepared presentations, so this is hopefully both an honor and an opportunity, as well as a challenge. The mini-papers should be completed by May 23rd or so. Please let us know as soon as possible if you accept your honor, so we can e-mail the broader group about the pre-meeting tasks and the agenda itself. Thank you very much, and I look forward to seeing you all in Trieste! Regards, KIM
