Susan and I think that you would be the most appropriate person given your previous work in this area and the fact that if any new emission scenarios need to be considered in WG1 then you are very likely to be closely involved with that. At this stage we would not want to make any assumptions as to what chapter 10 will include in this regard, because that needs further discussion by the chapter team and has some broader implications for the rest of WG1. But we would like to nominate you as the WG1 person for the program committee so that we keep all options open. Presumably serving on the committee means a commitment to attend the two meetings in January and June/July. We realize that this involves additional work on your part and that you will have many other calls on your time. However, we would be most grateful if you would be prepared to do this for us - please let me know.
