Dear Colleagues,

following some discussions started by IGS Mail 5069 I like to stress 
that the observation reported in that mail concerns a displacement of 
the measured y-pole from the values published in Bulletin A, which is a 
prediction. Since predictions need not be correct my statement that the 
displacement *is* caused by the earthquake was not careful enough. But 
the earthquake *may* be the cause of (part of) the observation.

In any case we further analyze our results, and I am interested in the 
results from specialists in earthquakes and polar motion excitation that 
will certainly be presented at the upcoming meetings.

Best regards

Urs Hugentobler
