Dear Hubbard Brook colleagues:

If you make comments on the LTER proposal, please start with the V.2 version that Tim edited (attached). Add your comments in Track Changes and add your name or initials to the file name. When you return it to me, copy the COS list-serve. You can add your comments to versions that others have marked up before you, in groups of 4 or 5 people per version. If there are already 4 or 5 people on a version, please start a new one, using V.2. as a base. If we get 30 sets of comments on one version it will be too hard to read.

I need your comments by February 12.

Thanks!

Gary

Gary,

I spent a day editing the version you sent around – see attached. Seems like it would be most efficient not to have everybody working at cross purposes on the same version. I’ve called this one v. 2. Should others build upon it? Also, I’m copying below the conceptual model behind the NxP fertilization study for possible inclusion. This is from work by Ruth, Melany and I.

Tim

Dear Hubbard Brook COS colleagues:

I have attached the latest draft of the LTER proposal for your review and comment. I will need your comments back by Friday, February 12 in order to have time to consider and incorporate them. If you have time to read the whole thing, great! If not, please review the sections that are most relevant to your work, and scan the marginal comments for any places you may be able to contribute.

The proposal is currently over the allowed length so any suggestions for shortening it will be appreciated.

Starting next week I will be contacting those of you who will be co-PIs on the proposal about budgets and paperwork that you will need to provide.
