[LTER-BioProd] SCUBA 3: Summary & next steps

[Peter Reich]

Mary, Sorry to have missed you and all at the meeting.

This looks to be evolving into a great piece!  I am happy to look over the entire draft with a fine-tooth comb (to look for consistency of messaging, tone, language, ideas, etc as well as just plain typical editing) but want to do this at the point when it is of most use to you and to the process.  Not sure if this version is it.

Peter

This is an ‘opt-out’ paper from the working group, which means we are all authors unless you communicate to me that you would rather not be. This reflects contributions from anyone at the previous meetings, because we have discussed it and worked on it each time.

Some sections are more polished than others, and wording and ideas can still be streamlined a bit among sections. Do what you can by March 4th so we can call the March 4th version our first full draft. I will be working on it too next week, as I can.

I know I appreciate this in both capacities!
