<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Hello everyone,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for the feedback by the end of Feb, as requested! It took me a couple weeks to get it all wrapped up, and then I submitted our pre-submission request to PRSB, as required by the journal. The Reviews editor was way for a few weeks, hence
the delay. I just heard back that we can submit our review, so I will do that today or tomorrow. That’s the update! So now, figures crossed and I’ll send around the submitted version when I’m done.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Best,</div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I hope you and yours are doing all right. I’m writing with the "Agenda paper", ready to submit and just need your final ‘OK’ or any minor feedback!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Update: </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As you know, this has proceeded in fits and starts over the last few years. I thought we were done in summer 2019, but a few good points were raised around that time that required a bit more work on my part, and here we are. Last summer (2020)
I presented this at ESA and around that time, got good and careful comments and contributions on the MS from our core writing team (Forest, Akira, Laura, Andy G). I have incorporated all those comments, and have also updated the manuscript a little bit since
our original drafting (3 years ago!). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I hope you like it! I’d like to submit it by the end of Feb to Proceedings of the Royal Society. Right now I’m simply asking for your ‘ok’. If there are revisions needed that can wait till we get reviews, I will happily take them and file them
for that time; if things need to be done before we submit, I will do my best!. The ms hasn’t changed much since summer so if your read it then you have a good idea of where it is. If you haven’t read it in a few years, I suggest you do take a quick look. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Finally, you will see that William Cheung has joined us as a co-author and on this email. William is a colleague at UBC and has been a contributor and co-author on the IBPES modelling scenarios and the scenarios chapter to which we refer in this
paper, so I’m very grateful he has joined us and provided his comments on the ms as well. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Action items (in summary): </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. Please confirm that you’re ok for me to submit this to PRSB</div>
<div class="">2. Please send me your address or add it in a comment in the ms.</div>
<div class="">3. OPTIONAL: help with figures if you are inspired</div>
<div class="">4. OPTIONAL: minor edits for pre-submission, major edits for post-review</div>
<div class="">5. OPTIONAL: Box 3 needs a little work, I think, and I wonder if one of you who originally drafted it could finalize it?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A few loose ends on the figures remain to be tied up, which I will do while you review. If you have time AND see opportunities to improve figures, I welcome that help at this stage! (There were some issues I couldn’t resolve with the figures we
had before, but if you miss them and would like help revise, we can discuss how to do that; it is possible).</div>
