Organization of the process is in the charge of Working Group II. The Expert Review for the First-Order Draft of the Technical Paper on Water will begin on May 21^st, and will run for four weeks until June 17^th. It is essential for the success of the process that we involve the widest community of internationally-recognized researchers in the review. We have identified you as someone whose reputation and contribution to the science is such that your participation is important. Therefore, we are sending you a First-Order Draft, with a request to review the Technical Paper. We would be most grateful if you can find time from your busy schedule to review the Technical Paper. If you can only find time to review those sections that are most close to your professional interests, we would still be pleased to receive your comments, although of course we also need reviews which take a broader view of the coherence and completeness of the document as a whole. We attach the following: 1. The draft Technical Paper on Water. This is in PDF format, because it is important to preserve the page and line numbers. 2. Background information on the Technical Paper, in the form of a Scoping Note. 3. A spreadsheet for you to use to make your comments. Instructions on how to use this spreadsheet are provided at the beginning. The deadline for the submission of review comments is June 17th. Comments should be submitted, using the spreadsheet, to [2]ipcc-wg2@metoffice.gov.uk . Please note that, if you have been nominated by your government for any role in the Fourth Assessment other than Review Editor, you may receive a separate invitation from us inviting you to be an Expert Reviewer in that capacity. We do hope that you will be able to find time to comment on this draft. In advance, we would like to express our deep gratitude for any contribution you can make. In recognition of the importance of the reviewing process, reviewers' names will be listed in the final published Technical Paper. Yours sincerely, Osvaldo Canziani Co-Chair, Working Group II Martin Parry Co-Chair, Working Group II Jean Palutikof Head, WGII TSU <> <> <> Attachment Converted: "c:\documents and settings\tim osborn\my documents\eudora\attach\rev.xls" References 1. http://www.ipcc-wg2.org/review/index.html 2. mailto:ipccwg2@metoffice.gov.uk
