date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:58:47 +0000 from: Phil Jones subject: Re: Potential reviewers to: santer1@llnl.gov,Tim Osborn Ben, I briefly discussed this with Tim a few minutes ago. With IDAG coming up, it is probably best not on to use Gabi and Myles. I also suggested that Mike Wallace might be slow - as Myles would have been. Peter S might not be right for the IDAG reason and he does work for the HC - where Peter T does. If Jim is back working he would be good. So would Fu. If Tim can just persuade them to do it - and quickly. I did suggest Kevin - he would do it quickly - but it may be a read rag to a bull with John Christy on the other paper. Glad to see you've gone down his route! Have a good weekend! Ruth says hello!
