Dear Martin, Ulrich and Mike,

After some discussions at the IPCC plenary meeting at the Maldives, it was
decided that the selection of a DDC should be done by the Task Group due to the
technical aspects to be considered in the decision. Different countries made
nominations for the establishment of a DDC. An ad hoc group with those countries
that made the nominations was established and we met to consider the different
proposals. It was concluded that CRU and DKRZ were the ones that could undertake
the tasks most appropriately. In order to set up the responsibilities of each of
the centres and to finalize the commitments of the DDC it would be a good idea
to have a meeting. This meeting would only have to involve the following members
of the Task Group:
M Parry, U Cubasch, M Hulme, R Moss, D Griggs and myself
The most appropriate date for Richard and Dave would be 22 October, here in
Bracknell (they will be flying to Bonn (for SBSTA) on the 23rd). 
Can you all make that date? Please get back to me as soon as possible,

Many thanks,

Maria
