   Dear Colleague,

   I am writing on behalf of the UK's focal point for the IPCC, David Warrilow, at the
   Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

   The IPCC are holding a scoping meeting for the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)  which will
   take place in Venice, Italy from 13 to 17 July 2009.

   DECC are initially asking the lead authors and review editors of the IPCC Fourth Assessment
   Report to be nominated for the scoping meeting. Therefore I am writing to ask whether you
   would be willing for us to nominate you to participate in this meeting.

   If you are happy for us to nominate you, we would be grateful if you would complete the
   attached nomination form and return it to me and my colleague Dan Bernie (cc'd in on this
   e-mail) before 12 pm on Friday 20^th March 2009 so that we can collate the forms and send
   them to the IPCC before the deadline.

   In addition, we would also welcome your recommendation of any other individuals that you
   feel should be nominated. If you would like to make any such recommendations please pass
   their details, including their areas of expertise, on to us and we will contact them
   directly.

   The IPCC Chair in consultation with the IPCC Vice-Chairs and the Co-Chairs of the IPCC
   Working Groups will select the final participants for the scoping meeting, so though there
   is no guarantee that any particular individual will be invited to attend, we would greatly
   appreciate your agreement  to be nominated as a participant.

   DECC will have some limited funds available to support attendance at this important meeting
   and we will pass on details to those invited to attend in due course.

   We look forward to hearing from you.

   Best wishes

   Matt Prout
