Hi Steve - Would 3 PM Reston time work for you for a call? Walter has indicated that he can change his schedule (thanks Walter!) to accommodate that time slot if it will work for you. (regarding which he said the only change he saw from the earlier draft was including Dave's corrections on what constitutes data). I'm not quite sure where that leaves us in terms of the combo but will work with Bill Lukas to get clarity on that (and see if we can get the final memo).

We already have completed significant U/Th geochronology work, and have additional U/Th geochronology and low temperature thermochronometry work in progress on samples collected last year. 2. The DGGS costs make our internal work look like a real bargain! 3. I was cc'ed yesterday on email response from the Kavik Camp owner to DGGS regarding a DGGS request to book lodging, so it would appear that DGGS is moving forward with or without us. I suggest we wait to see what happens with budget late this week and then schedule a conference call with DGGS for next week (even though I'm in Houston next week).

I spoke with our AO Friday am and then had a conference call with the project team Friday pm. They are each sending me input on how each topical task should move forward - that input is due to me Friday. I already have some requisitions in progress and - despite tagging them as urgent because of SO - the most important one has languished with contract folks in Denver for over a month, despite our AOs and me bugging them weekly. So, that does not bode for additional requisitions.
