<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>The composition of the Review Team has changed. See below. I had a call with Lou beginning to organize the details. The most important details he shared were:</div><div><br></div><div>1. All information will flow from NSF, so the site review book and other info will go to Lou first.</div><div>2. He wants the IM person Jonathan Walsh fully involved in the site review activities and not spend a lot of time separated from the group. He is setting it up so that Eda and he can begin to interact beforehand.</div><div><br></div><div>A reminder that the team members function much as a panel and they should be anonymous. I think I already sent out an email to all with their info, but we should try to keep a lid on it from here out.</div><div><br></div><div>jess</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Jess K.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Jess,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Deb Peters reported to me that there is high uncertainty as to whether or not her sponsored travel would be approved for the LUQ site review. I am unwilling to live with that uncertainty and the potential that a member of the site review
team would have to bail at the last minute.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a result, I have replaced Deb with Niall Hanan (cv attached). Niall is a member of the Jornada LTER and it is anticipated that he will be playing a leadership role in their 2018 LTER renewal proposal. He brings expertise in ecosystem
modeling, remote sensing, and integration. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have time for a brief phone conversation, perhaps as soon as tomorrow? I am preparing a letter for you regarding the planning for the site review and I think it could be helpful to talk about the review schedule in advance of that.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,<u></u><u></u></p>
