  1. Proceedings and Report of the Expert Meeting: Arrangements

  2. Proposed Arrangements for Proceedings • Options for publishing the proceedings of the meeting as a book: - Agricultural systems - Book to be published by Springer • Journal option will require that papers should be written in the format of the journal ie., introduction, sections and conclusions. • Journal option also requires that all papers have to be peer reviewed ie., by two external reviewers and have to be revised as per the comments of the reviewers. • Journal option could also mean that the issue may not come out until end of 2006.

  3. Proposed Arrangements for Proceedings • Springer book - Could be brought out within 6-9 months - Papers could be written in the format of a review paper. - No need for external reviewers. Holger and Shiv could handle the editing task. • If this option is chosen, then following is the suggested schedule: - All authors should prepare their papers by 30 April 2005 and send them to the editors (please see the guidelines for paper preparation) - Editors to edit the papers and correspond with authors for any clarifications and compile the final version by 30 June 2005. - Book can be published by 31 December 2005.

  4. Guidelines for paper preparation • Suggested length of the papers: maximum 20 pages (line spacing 1.5) including tables and figures • Please limit color diagrams to a minimum since the cost of the book depends on the number of color diagrams • Line drawings, bar diagrams and pie diagrams should be in black and white. • Remote sensing images, maps and photos could be in color. • Please submit your paper to WMO by 30 April 2005 • Delay by even one author will delay the publication of the book, so please cooperate by submitting your paper on time.

  5. Report of the meeting • Report of the meeting will be compiled and will be finalized by Holger, Leader of the ET and Shiv. • Report will consist of an introduction, session summaries, conclusions and recommendations and the list of participants. • Holger and Shiv to compile the draft report by 28 Feb 2005 and send it to ET members for their comments and suggestions, if any. • Report to be finalized by 15 March 2005 and to be posted on WMO web page.
