Going to see what I can do to drum up some support for this. I believe nominations are not due until mid March, mike Phil Jones wrote: Mike, Did you get an email from Gerrit - I'll forward it in case you didn't. I thought just one of the Fellowships - AGU award a number each year. Kevin got one this year - at the Acapulco meeting in May.

It would be my pleasure to nominate you for an AGU fellowship, you mean one of the prizes right? I haven't done this before, and would need to look into it. I can find out, mike Phil Jones wrote: Mike, Happy for you to upload something if you want. I think I'm down for it again along with Jean. I replied to Gerrit suggesting he had a great debate about EXXON and EGU. I said I didn't think AGU would accept EXXON money, but don't know if you have. Trying to get a copy of the Nobel Peace prize certificate that Patchy will collect in Oslo on Dec 10. If you get time any time, perhaps you can nominate me for an AGU fellowship - probably a lot of work!

Do we already have a session description entered (i.e., the same one we've been using for years), or do I need to upload one? mike -------- Original Message -------- Subject: EGU2008 - Guidelines for Conveners Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 12:56:23 +0200 (CEST) From: [1]egu2008@copernicus.org To: [2]mann@psu.edu Dear Conveners, Regarding the EGU General Assembly, Vienna, Austria, 13 - 18 April 2008, we want to inform you that the Call-for-Paper Programme is now available on [3] http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2008/ The deadline for abstract submission is 14 January 2008. We kindly remind you to upload your session description as soon as possible if not yet done so far. The session description is important for people looking for the best suited session for submitting their contribution. Please see [4] http://www.cosis.net/members/meetings/programme/overview_db.php?m_id=49 for your programme group. Choose your programme group and then your session and choose the link "Organizer Session Form" under "For Organizers and PC's only". Please login with your COSIS-ID. In case you lost your COSIS data, contact [5]egu2008@copernicus.org. 1. Organizer Session Form This tools enables you and your co-conveners to modify the title of your session; or to upload/accept/change the description of your session; name solicited speakers and/or any co-sponsorship, which will then be summarized under "Information" in the public line; or provide information about the publication of "proceedings" or "special issues" of your session or a report about your event after the assembly for upload under "Publication" and "Report", respectively, in the public line. Any changes in the coordinates (address, fax or phone numbers or email) of any convener or co-convener should be included in their respective COSIS personal directories first for automatic upload in the chapter "Organizer" in the public line. If a convener wishes to add/change co-conveners or editors or members of the organizing committee, he/she should contact the Copernicus Meeting Office ([6]egu2008@copernicus.org). 2. Contributions The contributions submitted to your session will be listed under "Contributions". Only after acceptance by you and your co-conveners through the "Overviews" tool, the contributions will be listed for the public in a citable journal style form under "Accepted Contributions". In this way it is guaranteed that new results and techniques are not published in a non-reference able manner. 3. Support Selection Contributions submitted in connection with an application for financial support are listed in part 1 of the tool "Support Selection". Here, you and your co-conveners will also be able to upload further requests of, e.g. selected solicited speakers, and requests like "Waiver of Conference Fee" or even a specific amount of money to assist the participation of a particular speaker. In part 2, which will become active on 10 December 2007, you and your co-conveners will then be able to rank all applications in view of the excellence of the contributions and the importance for your session. The final decision, however, will be in the hands of the "Support Selection Committee". We will inform you in time about each action. For now, we recommend that you read the chapters about the "Conveners' Guidelines", "Deadlines & Milestones", "Abstract Evaluation & Identification" and "Financial Support" from the home site of the assembly: [7] http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2008/ Best regards, Katja Gaenger & Martin Rasmussen Copernicus Meetings on behalf of Gerald Ganssen EGU 2008 Programme Committee Chair -- Michael E.
