The May IPCC meeting is 10-12, so outside the mid-March to April timeframe for IDAG. Dates in that period I can't make are March 19 and April 9-15. Try to avoid Easter. I have another meeting planned some time in this period - will try and get a date from them. Let's try and get together on the Monday evening. All at different hotels may not make it easy. Also different chapters. We could always sit together at the organized Tuesday event !

Don't know of any other conflicts for the dates you've specified, but please continue to stay away from March 1-4 because there is a meeting of researchers analyzing IPCC model output that week in Hawaii. There's another IPCC lead authors meeting in May, I think, but I'm not sure of the dates. (By the way, I'll be at the meeting in Trieste.) I have no objections to Duke. Karl Gabi Hegerl wrote: Dear IDAG people, John Mitchell would like some input on what to say about detection to the modellers at the working group for coupled modelling meeting (I resigned from that since I will be busy enough with IPCC but he still needs material). So if you have anything that you either want to communicate to the modellers (new great results since 1 year ago or a concern / suggestion), send your suggestion/ picture to me BY NEXT WEEK TUESDAY PLEASE) - unless Peter Stott already has your result/concern!! Secondly, we need to plan meetings. Tom and I suggest to meet at Duke. Please let us know what times from mid-march through April do NOT work for you, and if you have a preference, that would be good to know, too. We should also have a short meeting in the fall at a venue of opportunity. This year, AGU is not necessarily good, since neither Tom nor I are going - a meeting on detection for IPCC is pondered but presently highly uncertain (decision to be made end/September) and maybe not easible. The subset of us going to Trieste for the IPCC meeting should meet some evening and talk about IDAG, eg monday night?? - who will be there in addition to Phil, Peter, Francis, Nathan and me? Other suggestions?
