[Stefan Falke]

Steve if you're interested.

Dear Colleagues:

It's my privilege to invite you to participate in a planned roundtable
discussion intended to discuss GEOSS and its potential contribution to
our collective understanding and ability to respond to climate change.
The planned roundtable will occur at the EPA Environmental Information
Symposium in St. Louis to be held over November 14-16, with this
specific session scheduled for Friday, November 16 from 9-10 AM. I also
wish to express my apologies that this invitation is coming to you so
late, giving you such short notice -- please forgive me for that.

General information about the symposium may be found at:

http://www.epa.gov/oei/proceedings/2007/proceedings07.htm

Attached is a (rough) draft "session plan" for the planned roundtable
discussion. I will be seeking to have a lively, interactive discussion
involving the participants. Note that this discussion will *not* be
policy-oriented, but I think we are free to recognize the relevancy of
your collective science, program, and information work to the climate
issue in terms of understanding climate conditions and identifying
opportunities to respond to the challenge.

Please let me know as soon as possible of your availability and/or
suggestions for other possible participants. Also, please provide your
contact information in a format similar to that shown on the attached
for Dr. Frank Lindsay. Any questions, please ask! And thanks in advance
for your patience. Cheers,

     Steve
