Dear Climate-L readers,
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is inviting experts to take part in a second round of comments on the Working Group II contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report that starts on Thursday, 28 March. For the second round of expert reviews, Working Group II, which covers climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, is seeking input from volunteer expert reviewers from all relevant fields. The second order draft of the contribution will also be reviewed by the member governments of the IPCC. The review period runs until 24 May. Registration for participation in the review is now open.
The IPCC seeks the widest possible participation by experts in the reviews of its draft reports. Reviewers should reflect the full range of scientific, technical, and socio-economic views, expertise, and geographical representation.
In order to arrive at a balanced assessment, Working Group II hopes to draw on the expertise of climate scientists as well as others with the knowledge or experience to provide scientific review comments on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability.
The main stages of the review process are the review of the first order draft by scientific experts, the review of the second order draft by experts and governments, and a final round of government comments on the draft of the Summary for Policymakers.
During the review of the first order draft of its contribution to AR5, Working Group II received more than 19,000 comments from 563 reviewers from 60 countries. Independent review editors ensure that every review comment is addressed by the authors of the report chapters. To ensure transparency, all the comments and the responses from the authors are published with the drafts after the reports are released.
Individuals who have already registered for the review of the first order draft are automatically registered for the review of the second order draft. They can use the login credentials provided for the earlier review. Experts who have not previously registered may secure access to the reviewing system based on an email request to tsu(a)ipcc-wg2.gov .
Please feel free to disseminate this review registration link within your professional networks.

"Sustaining the Future of Acacia Plantation Forestry"
18-21 March 2014, Hue, Vietnam
This is a joint conference of the recently formed IUFRO Working Party WP 2.08.07 on Acacia Genetics and Silviculture, WP1.02.06 on Ecology and Silviculture of Acacia and WP 2.04.01 on Population, Ecological and Conservation Genetics and will be hosted by the Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences (VAFS). The conference will include invited and contributed presentations and posters, discussion sessions, satellite and business meetings, and in-conference and post-conference tours.
This 4 days' conference with the theme, "Sustaining the Future of Acacia Plantation Forestry" will be structured so as to promote discussion between geneticists, breeders and scientists concerned with management regime development and interactions of the crop with its biotic and abiotic environment. This broad ranging review should provide scientific support to those responsible for developing and implementing forest plantation management policies. While our primary interest is in tropical acacias we recognize that there is a much more established tradition of planting temperate species such as A. mearnsii, and we will welcome contributions from scientists working on those crops.

Dear Division 2 members:
Please take a look at this e-mail and its attachments. I strongly encourage all of you to seriously considering submitting proposals for sessions at the upcoming IUFRO Wold Congress.
Thanks for considering my request,

Subject: IUFRO 2014 Congress: Session proposal website open for business
Dear CSC friends,
I hope that the new year is off to a good start for all of you. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Robert Jandl, deputy coordinator of Division 8, to the Congress Scientific Committee. Robert will be replacing Alain Franc, who is not able to continue in this role.
As you all know, the next phase of our work is to promote the preparation and submission of session proposals from within IUFRO and from other partners, optimally in cooperation with IUFRO Research Groups, Working Parties and/or Task Forces. All session proposals will be submitted online via the Congress website which is now open: http://iufro2014.com/scientific-program/session-proposals/. Session proposals can be submitted any time from now until April 30th. As we have discussed earlier, we expect all members of the CSC to help spread the word about the open call for session proposals and to encourage the preparation of session proposals by IUFRO units and others (preferably involving two or more IUFRO units, optimally across IUFRO Divisions, Task Forces and/or other organizations) closely aligned to the Congress Themes. It would be most helpful if those preparing session proposals could send drafts of these proposals to relevant members of the CSC prior to their submission online - this could help us identify potential co-organizers (from other IUFRO units), and thereby reduce the number of very similar session proposals (which was a bit of a problem for the 2010 Congress). It will also save us work during the session proposal review phase (May-June), since part of that review process will be to identify very similar sessions that need to be combined.
In the coming weeks, all CSC members will be given access to the session proposal database and online review system - you will receive a message when this is ready.
Finally, I would like to note that all session proposals, including those that will eventually be designated as sub-plenary sessions, must be submitted through this online system (which, by the way, is very easy to use). I will be writing separately to CSC members (and other identified colleagues) who have already volunteered to serve as the focal points for development of the sub-plenary sessions in cooperation with relevant IUFRO Task Forces, which we identified as priorities during our CSC meeting in Nairobi last June.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at this stage. I look forward to working with you in this very important phase of preparations for the 2014 Congress.
With best wishes,
John
