I cannot tell from your email whether I should explicitly ask for travel support for myself to attend IDAG meetings. Travel support doesn't seem to be included in "consulting fees" or "full support." Also, I don't see travel support in the latest version of the proposal, leading me to believe that travel support is automatically included, but I'm not sure. Can you clarify whether we need to ask for travel support explicitly, or whether it is included automatically in the proposal? -Tim claudia tebaldi wrote: > Hi again > > I'm attaching the current version after some remassaging, especially > of the task list. > There is a need for a reference that I would like to get from David > Karoly, and a general request for input having to do with the > synthesis products that originally were described as instrumental to > AR5 but Gabi thinks they would not be prepared in time for that.
