1.1. Let C/S be a smooth proper curve of genus g over a scheme S, and let P be a finite set of prime numbers which includes all residue characteristics of S. For any section s : S → C we then obtain, as in [DM, 5.5], a pro-object π1(X/S, s) in the category of locally constant sheaves of finite groups on S whose fiber over a geometric t̄ → S is equal to the maximal prime to P quotient of π1(Ct̄, s...
