Subject	Invitation to the SRES meeting in Berkeley
Dear Colleagues, I would like to confirm that we will hold the next SRES meeting on 7-8 February at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. Lynn Price is the organizer of the meeting. Below is her contact information. Ms. Lynn Price Energy Analysis Program Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory MS 90-4000, 1 Cyclotron Road Berkeley, CA 94720 U.S.A. (001-510) 486-6519 (001-510) 486-6996 e-mail: lkprice@lbl.gov The main purpose of the meeting is to review the work progress of the four modeling groups that have been involved in first quantifications of the four storylines. My expectation is that we can harmonize various model runs into four initial scenarios. Thus, this will be primarily a modelers' meeting focusing on technical issues, storyline interpretation and consistency of first quantifications. It will not have the character of a Lead Authors meeting in the strict sense. It is nevertheless an important meeting for all modeling groups who have volunteered to quantify storylines, since this work needs to proceed in order for us to meet our original timetable and cannot be postponed until the next Lead Authors' meeting in the spring. I hope that most of you can attend. Your input would be valuable in this early stage of modeling work. Furthermore, it would be good to also take the opportunity of this meeting to review the so-called zero-order-drafts (ZODs). The deadline for the submission of the final versions of the ZODs is 15 January (Thursday), so I expect that we will also have new material to discuss. Although I realize that this meeting will take place on rather short notice and not all of you will be able to obtain the necessary approvals and visas to attend, I nonetheless believe that it is important at this stage to hold an informal meeting with the four modeling groups. I have funds available for the four lead authors from developing countries: Matthew Luhanga, Zhou Dadi, Henryk Gaj, and Emilio La Rovere. As noted above, a more formal meeting of the complete writing team will be held sometime in March or April, at which time I hope everyone will be able to attend. Please confirm your attendance for the February meeting with me as soon as possible (this week if you can), so that we can reserve sufficient hotel space in Berkeley. Again, for those of you who are working on Zero Order Drafts, please remember that this Thursday is the deadline for completion. I look forward to receiving these.
