Ben, Andrew and list:

   I see so little on CDR/GRR that I couldn't in good conscience recommend 
friends from the biochar community to submit anything.  I include the 
membership lists in the various organizing and advisory panels, where you have 
many (maybe all) well known names - a few on ocean technologies, but none I 
think from the CDR earth-bio side.

   Can you provide a sales pitch on why any person interested only in CDR/GGR 
(with examples for biochar) should want to attend?  Two weeks ago,  I was 
overwhelmed with what was new at a biochar conference.  With four parallel 
sessions over 3 days, I missed over half of what went on.  I now can't see your 
bringing in more than one or two panels of interest to me - not enough to 
justify the time and expense.  Am I wrong?   Hope I am.

Ron
