Hi David,
Is this something that the NZAGRC has actually funded? If it isn't I don't need to approve. It is a bit difficult for me to approve something I haven't seen as I have a contractual responsibility to assess IP implications. I have no worries at all about the science quality etc, I only really check for IP implications. Given the list of authors it may be that the NZAGRC is only peripherally involved.  Call me please.
