I re-read it last night. I still like what I read-- bearing in mind that I am not in the field anymore. I think you are definitely on the right track. The key thing is happening-- you have given us a solid base to work from. As more and more review and reflect, we'll have something that is scientifically sound and reflects a process that gives everyone who so desires a chance to comment. I see that NSF is moving on with the concept of biodiversity observatories. This is still a rough concept, but more discussion will follow, I have spoken with Krishtalka about the Smokies being so considered. I'll keep pushing that and finding out more when I am in DC at the BIO directorate's advisory committee meeting later this month. Hope all goes well, Frank
