=== Agenda of CMIP6 ===

We propose to have two version of ORCHIDEE for CMIP6:
 - version 1 that needs to be ready by mid 2015 for first tests and could be updated/corrected until the end of 2015 for a full test early 2016. Note that LMDZ group will start with some LMDZOR test in April.
 - version 2 that would be coupled with a version 2 of LMDZ (ie, with a different improved physic): to be ready Begining of 2017

For the group project, we propose to concentrate until March 2015 on the Validation chain for ORCHIDEE.
This chain will be serve for both i) the ongoing ORCHIDEE paper and ii) the successive validation of any new ORCHIDEE version.
