I hope you would be able to go through this paper in detail in preparation for the meeting. The scoping meeting is an extremely important step in the preparation of the AR5 and as you would visualize that if the scoping itself is not satisfactory then we would not be in a position to really produce a report that would meet the standards of the IPCC and satisfy the expectations of our audience. We would be providing further information on the selection of the special task groups and the break out groups, etc., that are proposed as part of this exercise. I look forward to welcoming you in Venice and working with you in this important endeavour. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, R.K.
