Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 79 / Monday, April 24, 2000 / Notices 21797

To be most useful, comments should

be specific in suggesting alternative

working or other changes to the text of

a particular paragraph or chapter and,

where appropriate, offer supporting

information and peer-reviewed

references supporting the proposed

changes. Comments on the overall tone

and scientific validity of the chapters

and comments expressing the reasons

for agreement or disagreement with

specific major points in the Executive

Summary of the chapters are also

solicited.

The materials available for review

include the draft chapters and draft

Summary for Policymakers for each of

the three Working Groups. Reviewers

should undertake detailed review only

of those specific chapters of the draft

IPCC Working Group Third Assessment

Report for which they have expertise or

special interest. Reviews of the draft

Summary for Policymakers should

consider the consistency of any chapter

and the selection and representation of

its major points in the draft Summary

for Policymakers.

Reviews of each chapter should be

submitted separately and the reviews of

the different working group reports

should be submitted as separate files to

the appropriate email address indicated

above.
