Since they are private, I will say no more about them except to say that Chris has proceeded as if there is consensus when there actually is not.
no need for mystery here -- I asked off-list for feedback from Steven and a couple others, then posted the PEP without having given them much time to respond. However, I posted the PEP because I wanted review, and we had had enough circular conversations that I thought is was time for a concrete proposal to bash on. I by no means intended to convey the impression that there was consensus reached among anyone in particular. The goal of posting the PEP was to determine if that was so, and if not, to change it to a point where that could happen. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
