I have taken a few days to answer as I have been more an administrator than a scientist these last 3 days.Excuse me. The present report will be certainly cut by Zimmie. The information that you gave me seems OK at the moment, as every topic has to be presently shortly of course. I have changed some words concerning my simplistic views on the Little Ice Age..... It is exactly what is expected from you !.Thank you. If you dont agree and/ or if you have more to say on Stream I, please, do. Stream I has to be reinforced in PEP III for sure. I think that in themanner that I haveinclude your information, you dont risk to be accused to ignore other people. Let me know if unclear. Next weak , I am in India for a meeting on the monsoon. So, if you have some remarks to do during that time , please send them directly to Zimmie. I will diffuse this document as a kind of PEP III news letter to all people that have clearly manisfested their interest for PEP III in the next few days (still waiting for some last reactions from the steering committee members and leader scientist)s. Please, can you also diffuse it as largely as possible to your community? We have still to discuss in greate detail PEP III Stream I implementation before the IGBP meeting. All the best , and thanks again. Francoise.
