Subject: Re: Distribution Transformers Committee Meeting Budget

Hi Caitlin

I find this proposal to be acceptable.

A bigger issue is the timing of the meetings. Nov 9-11 is ok but what about the other dates?

Note: the biannual IEEE Transforme r Committee meeting will be Oct 30 - Nov 3. We should not schedule

a DOE meeting during this period.

Best regards

Wes

Subject Distribution Transformers Committee Meeting Budget

Dear Distribution Transformer Stakeholders,

My name is Caitlin Johnson and I have been working with Richard Parker at Navigant Consulting to help organize

the series of meetings that you will be attending as part of the upcoming negotiated rulemakings on distribution

transformers. As you know, the first meetings are going to be held this month (later this week for the MV group,

and towards the end of the month for the LV group). I am currently working on finding appropriate times and

locations for the remainder of the meetings. Although we were able to book space with DOE for many of them,

there are still a few dates for which we have not been able to reserve space in DOE, so we have been searching for

outside facilities instead.

One of the spaces that is available to us on one of our necessary dates, Nov. 9

‐ 11 th

, is the conference center at Pew

Charitable Trust in downtown DC. I have drawn up a tentative budget, attached to this email, for booking the

Center. The budget breaks down the tentative price by organization, based on which committees they participate

in and how many people they are sending. It also includes a potential pro

‐ rated price, in which the cost for

nonprofit organizations is halved (though, of course, all of this can be negotiated).Please let me know what you think of this budget and whether it seems appropriate, because we need to book a

space for this meeting as soon as possible. Additionally, if you know of any other spaces that may be available to

us (either for this date, Nov. 9

‐ 11 th

, or some date in early December), please let me know! We would be eager to

hear your suggestions!

Best,

Caitlin Johnson
