date: Thu Sep 27 18:13:39 2001 from: Mike Hulme subject: Re: Aeree Kim to: m.kelly@uea.ac.uk Mick, Thanks for clarifying. We have no intentions of 'rocking the boat'. At the reporting back stage someone from Tyndall (who?) might like to attend if you think this would be acceptable. We now have a stake in this research too. By the way, you can feed-back to Aeree that I thought her talk was clear and well put together - this only thing I missed was how the CDM study fitted into the bigger picture of her PhD on world trade. Mike At 16:38 26/09/01 +0100, you wrote: Mike Aeree asked me to clarify the reporting to Shell - I think she was reluctant to speak on my behalf when asked who was responsible. The answer is that the PIs are obliged to report back to Shell and this will occur through a brief precis of the thesis, seminar, individual discussions etc. If Aeree is still around after completing her thesis then she will be involved, but we can't commit her to this. I should also clarify another point. There seems to be some misinformation around about this issue. The report back etc will be to Shell International in London and not Shell Solar in Holland or South Africa. This is a critical point as there are numerous sensitivities here. To over-simplify somewhat - Shell International are interested in generic conclusions regarding the viability of CDM (and we should have some very useful information for them). Shell Solar do not want anyone 'interfering' with their set-up in South Africa (so we have to be a little circumspect in regard to the specifics of that situation). That's in strictest confidence!
