1 DR. AURAND: It needs to be presented as a discussion. If there 



2 are parts in there which are factual that you want to put in as part 



3 of--"This is what we think about canyons"--I think I agree with you that 



4 something that looks like a transcript of discussion is very 



5 distracting. 



6 DR. GRASSLE: That is correct. 



7 DR. AURAND: If you have paragraphs that you want to list 



8 something that you know about canyons or geology or whatever and put 



9 them in the right place, that makes sense. 



10 DR. MACIOLEK: I think that sort of material probably would go in 



11 the first section. It may be that we end up with more than 100-word 



12 paragraphs if some of that information is especially relevant, but it 



13 just should be presented as--you know, here it is. 



14 DR. TEAL: The biggest problem I see in that first part 



15 is--actually, really it is questions at about page 14--that there are 



16 not good answers to those questions. 



17 You know, to try to summarize from this just briefly, for somebody 



18 who was not actually at the discussion, which is the case for me--I 



19 could not see what anyone was driving at in the next few pages. 



20 DR. MACIOLEK: That is because it was just before lunch and no one 



21 was coherent. 



22 DR. GRASSLE: Yes, it just does not make any sense to me. 



23 DR. KRAEUTER: (Inaudible) discussion groups-- 



24 DR. TEAL: We cannot--there is no information, no answer to most 



25 of those questions. 



26 DR. GRASSLE: Maybe we should just say that it was discussed. 



27 DR. TEAL: You could say that it needs--it would be useful to know 



28 whether those topics--whether sessile animals in the canyons are 



29 separate populations. 



30 I mean, Barbara sort of leads toward the idea that they are 



31 relatively isolated. I think that is highly unlikely, but she knows 



32 more about it than I do.
