Subject	Re: B8 - REMINDER
we need to sort out budget - I have received no response from Eystein re rethinking - can not judge other WPs but suspect too much going into modelling /simple modelling . We would rather inflate request now and rethink (with wider evidence) later. We need another million from other WPs .

Please send me the missing B8 no later than Wedensday (23 February). If you cannot meet this already overdue deadline please let me know. For details, see below. Cheers, Øyvind B.8 Detailed implementation plan - first 18 months MAX 40 PAGES This section describes in detail the work planned to achieve the objectives of the proposed project up to its first 18 months in operation. The recommended length, excluding the forms specified below, is up to 15 pages. An introduction should explain the structure of this 18-month detailed implementation plan and how the plan will lead the participants to achieve the objectives aimed for by that time. It should also identify significant risks and contingency plans for these. The plan must be broken down into work packages (WPs) which should follow the logical phases of the project during this period, and include management of the project and assessment of progress and results to this point. Essential elements of the plan are: a) Detailed implementation plan introduction - explaining the structure of this plan and the overall methodology used to achieve the objectives of the first 18 months. Include a version of the form A3 which is used in Part A of the proposal, but covering just the first 18 months b) Work planning, showing the timing of the different WPs and their tasks (Gantt chart or similar) WP and Task leaders: Provide input (Max 4 pages per WP) with detail of plans including milestones and key deliverables c) Graphical presentation of the components, showing their interdependencies (Pert diagram or similar) d) Detailed work description broken down into work packages: Work package list (use work package list form below); Deliverables list (use Deliverables list form below); Description of each work package (use work package description form below, one per work package): Note: The number and structure of work packages used must be appropriate to the complexity of the work and the overall value of the proposed project. Each work package should be a major subdivision of the proposed project and should also have a verifiable end-point (normally a deliverable or an important milestone in the overall project). The planning should be sufficiently detailed to justify the proposed effort and allow progress monitoring by the Commission - the day-to-day management of the project by the consortium may require a more detailed plan. -- Dr. Øyvind Paasche Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research/ Department of Earth Science University of Bergen Allé gt. 55 N-5007, Bergen Norway Phone direct: +47 55583297 Cell phone: +47 93048919 E-mail: oyvind.paasche@bjerknes.uib.no -- Professor Keith Briffa, Climatic Research Unit University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, U.K. Phone: +44-1603-593909 Fax: +44-1603-507784 [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/ References 1. http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/people/briffa/
