review very briefly to make it an expeditious process.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The final proofs will be made available to
authors as they are received, but there will be no demands on the author teams

will be a strict 5-day check and approval (including any holidays).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The final corrected proofs will be made
available by the publisher in batches of 5-10 chapters, and with each batch of
chapters, they will be returned to the publisher in no more than 5 days after
Greg and I receive them and disseminate to the authors. Ideally, authors will
simply archive them for their personal records. If there is some pressing
need to validate the final changes made, or offer a final small correction this will
be an option—so long as it is done in only 5 days.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There should not be a need for this, however.

Dinner group’s response: This task was well received. It is recognized that the
Randolph Inventory—though critically needed for its urgent propose vis a vis
the IPCC AR5, does not adhere uniformly to quality standards that are high
enough whereby a future inventory done to similar specifications would uncover reliable
evidence of glacier changes. Whereas the RGI and GLIMS inventories must be
filled in to get the first totally global snapshot of glacier distributions and
glacier area, there is a need to establish tighter and more uniform standards
and understanding regarding tracking (and minimization) of errors and
uncertainties.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There already has been
considerable effort directed toward this task (evident in several chapters in

Dinner group’s response, and further information: There is a need for a
clearing house of who is already doing what (or planning weather stations) and
documenting where exactly station data are being collected, and establishing a
standard protocol that is oriented specifically toward glaciers.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Alan Gillespie has a big start on this task
and has agreed to lead it or otherwise help develop its charter and push it
forward.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We will hear more soon about
this.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Interested prospective
participants should contact Alan (</span><a href="mailto:arg3@u.washington.,edu"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">arg3@u.washington.edu</span></a><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">) and Cc Jeff (</span><a href="mailto:jeffreyskargel@hotmail.com"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">jeffreyskargel@hotmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The climate downscaling task—particularly the directive to create a more
homogenous and more glacier-oriented downscaling task was also well
received.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Frank Paul thought that this
might best be done as a WMO activity, since they are already doing similar
things for partially similar reasons, but maybe not specifically targeting
glaciers.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Andy Bush (who was not at the
dinner due to a competing birthday celebration, but he was consulted
extensively before and after the dinner) sees the merit of the idea and
presumably would take some significant role in helping to achieve this task’s
objectives.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Frank Paul recommended that
Andy contact WMO about this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
