As you may remember, I was very upset earlier when the invitation went out to Zorita even though as far as I had understood, we had agreed not to invite and his name was not on the list we had agreed too. I believe that the field is more than adequately covered by those attending, and I would definitely not support any effort to recruit a proxy for Von Storch or Zorita at this point, or even to ask Zorita to change his mind. mike Christoph Kull wrote: >Dear all, >Two days ago I got the short message (below) from Eduardo Zorita claiming >that he will not be able to join the Wengen workshop.
