I do not have big/conceptual issues. My feeling is that some of the text before the outline of the 7 scientific challenges could be shortened without losing the main message. In other words, we could keep the introduction shorter and more straight to the point and present the challenges earlier. I have a few additional comments attached.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Yann<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Bioprod <bioprod-bounces@lists.lternet.edu> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mary O'Connor<br><b>Sent:</b> vrijdag 28 juni 2019 16:01<br><b>To:</b> bioprod@lternet.edu<br><b>Subject:</b> [LTER-BioProd] Agenda paper: new draft, and request to present<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I hope you are well, and off to a great summer. I’m checking with an update of (hopefully) progress on the Agenda paper (attached). This progress is motivated by me giving a talk at a Biodiversity/Climate Change meeting in Switzerland this coming Thursday. Some of us will be there (Michel, Forest, Jane, Andy H…) and the Agenda paper leaders felt this would be a good time to present this to that audience. Many of the attendees will include people actively involved in the recent IPBES reports. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So, two action items for you:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>1. OPTIONAL: FOR THE TALK NEXT THURSDAY JULY 4: If you have time and would like to comment on this before I present the highlights next Thursday, please do! I apologize for the short notice on this, and I also apologize for sending it on a Friday. If you have any major reservations with me presenting any part of this, let me know. I would like to acknowledge everyone in this group as a co-author on this part of my talk, and if you would prefer that I not do that (or not include your name at this stage) let me know. <b>Ideally, before Tuesday July 2nd</b>. <b>If I don’t hear from you I’ll assume it’s ok to present this with you included as a contributor.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>2. FOR THE MANUSCRIPT: Please read and comment on this version of the manuscript. I’d like to know how close this could be to submittable. I expect another round to the group for ‘final’ feedback after this round, but let me know if I’m off base. I’ve attached a PDF here so you can:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- read and provide general comments on big/conceptual issues at this stage. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- If you would like to work on text or figures, I would welcome the help and please let me know, I will send a word doc and we can discuss. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>- please help me with references and examples!
